I knew from the get go that I want the AOA Sport be mounted atop the glareshield in the -8 instead of in the instrument panel as located in my -6A.
For days, I puzzled over an appropriate mount to house it in and came up this ridiculously easy idea when I thought about a spare C-677 REAR PIN MOUNT ($2.73) retrieved from a parts drawer. The AOA light assembly fits inside it perfectly.
A small piece of angle stock and a #6 nutplate...all attached with 1097AD3 rivets completes the assembly. A small snap bushing (SB312-3) through the glareshield and out of view (just forward of the mount) routes the ribbon cable.
