Does this mean the SV-ADAHRS is being relocated from the Tail Cone to below the floor in the Fuselage?

No. Only the Garmin ADAHRS is being located there.
No change to the baggage bulkhead. Only the baggage floor.

I expect that you wont be able to say but is there a likely timeframe for the G3x? |

I've always wondered why Vans didn't provide for inspection ports behind the bulkhead similar to the ones forward of the bulkhead. I've posted here before on the ones I added after certification. They save me a lot of work at annual.

Because they did vertical and lateral static load tests on the tail cone that were required by the ASTM, and chose not to add any.

Making any type of design change on the RV-12is a very involved process.
For this reason, an attempt is often made to group them together.
In this case, the rear floor cover design change is integral with the G3X release because it also incorporates a mounting for the ADAHRS.
The only structural change being released is to the aft baggage floor cover. It will allow removal of a portion of the floor without removing the tank (will require inspection of the right side aileron torque tube using a mirror).

Garmin G3X announced December 1, 2014. Any further word on the baggage floor modification?
(Sorry but I don't know how to get the OP credit for the quote.)

I believe the parts have been shipping with fuselage kits for a while now so you should be able to get them if you want them.

That is good news. Unfortunately I don't know what part number(s) to order and I can't find any revision(s) that would shed light on the subject. Any help is appreciated since I am at that point in my build.

Thanks for the link to modify the rear bulkhead. Called Vans today and ordered part #F00081 and part #F00083 split baggage floor covers.

I must have missed something - what are F00081 and F00083?
