I removed the factory switch and replaced it with a double throw sustained (non-momentary) switch and relocated it to the front panel.

Much easier to use and access. It also freed up the center for an armrest console that I built.

Has anyone installed the F-12132 headset brackets from the 12iS on a legacy 12? Seems like they'd be handy.

Default EZPZ

A buddy gave me a pair of the F-12132 headset brackets. Took me awhile to figure out where to mount them in my classic 12.
I was investigating the 12iS KAI to see what it would take to add the egress handle to my build. I happened to notice the brackets on Page 29iS/U-08 (rev 1) in SECTION 29iS/U: FWD UPPER FUSELAGE.
Easy install - identify & drill out two rivets, bracket holes line up, pull two new rivets.
The only "issue" is that I have dual screens (no map box). So on the passenger side, the clearance between the bracket and the under panel map tray is a little tight but hanging the headset (at least my DC's) is doable.

Default A Simple Vent Handle

I added handles to my vents to make them easier to grip. The removable spark plug caps came in handy.
