I have also been working out my plan for adding avionics shelves to the tail cone and working out my plan for provisions for a yaw damper servo.
I have ordered some sheet stock, extra angle and hardware to do something similar to this:

I also ordered Van's RV-10 AHRS mounting kit that looks something like this when installed:

And finally I ordered two of these ELT/Strobe mount kits Van's has for the RV-10. My understanding is that the bracket can be flipped over and used for both sides of the 10. One on each side will give me plenty of flexibility.

Here is where I am at with that:
Now on to following the plans!
Got started tonight by drilling the aft deck to the assembly. First I drilled these holes that go into the F-1010A angle at the top of the bulkhead that ends up being the mounting point for the front HS spar.
Then I drilled the sides to the longerons. Ensuring to drill the holes straight and perpendicular to the deck.
I used the long drill to match drill these tight places.
Long drill required here.
Then I match reamed these two holes that get bolts using a #12 reamer.
Next I centered and clamped this F-1011D to the HS mount bars.
And used the long drill to match drill the holes to the deck, spacer, and the longerons.
Then I match reamed the end holes that get bolts using a #12 reamer.
Finally I centered, clamped and match drilled the F-1012D elevator stop to the aft deck and longerons. Finally I match reamed the end most holes of this angle using the #12 reamer.
