Panel Installation (Part 3)

These two pictures show the panel bracket (also made by Aerotronics) for the control cables mounted underneath the panel frame.  The holes in the bracket from left to right are: 

Go Around…..Throttle….Prop…..Mixture



This last picture shows the GTN750Xi mounted in the panel.  There was a fair amount of work to get the mounting tray installed the way I liked it….correct height and depth as compared to the autopilot controller and general visuals of the unit compared to the rest of the panel.  For the installation, I installed screws through the countersunk holes already in the mounting bracket, then through the instrument panel standoffs.  I had to drill a few holes in the standoffs, but the installation wasn’t very difficult…..just took some time to get right.
