Default Dual G3X

Has anyone got a picture of a dual G3X (ideally with a GMC305/307) in an RV12 they can share please - Google and forum searches aren't being my friend!
I'm trying to see how I can get the UK-mandated standby instruments in with the autopilot control panel.

Thanks in anticipation.

It's going to be a tight fit. There's not much room for additional avionics with a dual G3X in a 12.

I had to forgo the extra autopilot control panel to fit the GPS reqired for night flight here in Australia.

Thanks everyone.
I'm contemplating remaking the centre switch panel without the fuses (conventional Klixon 7277-2-xx circuit breakers instead, to the right of the P2 screen) and then lowering the GNC255A (8.33 KHz for Europe) and GMC307 so I can get 2 1/4" airspeed, altitude and compass at the top. Unfortunately the UK require standby instruments even for day VFR with an EFIS as the primary display.

Here's the G3X Touch panel in the S-SLA RV-12 that I rent in Phoenix, AZ.
