IPC 53-51-00-15 UPDATED SDR CAREFULY CHECKED ADJACENT STRUCTURE AND FOUND INTACT. NUTPLATES ARE IN PLACE AND SECURE. INSTALLED REBUILT PANEL WITH NEW HARDWARE. NEW PANEL IS MISSING A CHANEL THAT SHOULD BE CONNECTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE THAT HELPS SECURE THE ADJACENT PANEL. (194DR). WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE A CHANEL THAT IS MISSING IS A BULB SEAL AND RETAINERS.
