But I'm still piddling around with the wiring and cabling. Found out today that the GRT Sport SX will control a Garmin SL30 radio and the Microair 760 will support SL30 type input/output. So, I'm working on adding the necessary wiring between the two.

The obvious place to begin weight reduction was the ridiculously heavy instrument panel. Removed it and put the Garmin radios, etc. up for sale. Meanwhile, I began to lay out the instrument configuration in the old panel.

The GRT Sport has arrived and almost all the instruments have been set in their panels. This is a test fit. It was necessary to adjust the big opening in the main for clearance of some of the various instruments.
