Hello Dannie. First welcome. Second mine are placed about 2 inches below likes the photos seen above. Also, I wouldn't waste my time using the EGT probes provided by Dynon. My first one went bad in the first 70 hrs. Even Dynon tech support told me they are not of "the best quality" EGT probes and I should expect them to go bad and have to replace them.

With advice from others I replaced all my probes from KS Avionics. They are more expensive but much better quality and come with a 2yr 1000 hrs warranty...

just my .02.

(I do not work for or in any way am I compensated for the KS Avionics plug)

Anyone have any pictures or info on where they put the probes.

Thanks Dannie
