Joe...what you need is plans section 44B-1 thru 44B-06. You need part F-00072 to know where to modify existing brackets (grind off in an arc)....easy to do.

The pitch servo rod is different....Dynon is 6-1/4", Garmin is 6-3/16"

There is a wiring change....2 new wires are run from avionics bay to pitch servo plug to replace 2 that get taped off. Hope this helps.

Edit...I got mine from Vans when I ordered my G3X package...give them a call.

I am updating this post based on new info...

Apparently at least one builder has made, and then installed a servo pushrod of an incorrect length and then complained of a problem with the control system not working properly.

It is difficult to understand how this could occur since the PAP has a complete control system check procedure, along with an autopilot calibration procedure that requires that the control stick be moved to all extremes of control travel....:rolleyes:
