Mine stick out (all of them) exactly 3/10th of an inch, just shy of the bezel width. It was pretty easy to fabricate the mounts. I think it looks ok. I assume that mounting "methods" are similar for 8's and 7's, but I could be wrong, don't know much about 8's. see entry dated 7/3/04 http://rv7-a.com/avionics.htm Finished Results http://rv7-a.com/Img_5172.jpg -- Walter Tondu http://www.rv7-a.com Ready to move to airport Looking for a trailer...
