Default Wanted Vans 6/7/9 factory panel photo.

I would like to know if anyone has photos of Vans factory demo aircraft panel.
How they have them setup ie 6 pack or EFIS ?
I was was told that they dont have an AH installed, is this true ?
As I have not seen any of these aircraft, any inside pics would be great.
I can only find outside view pics.

Thanks

Default Panel - screws

I've been looking for some time for a source for black screws 8/32 to hold the panel in. In total, we need about 30.

Can anyone please suggest a source?

Thanks.

Default Black Screws

They're commonly available at your local hardware store as well. Nothing wrong with using non-AN hardware in non-structural applications.

I used black anodized 8/32 socket head cap screws for mine. Got them at the local hardware store. Don

Thanks for the pic !!
So they dont have a AH, it looks like a G meter in its place ?
Whats under the G meter, an auto pilot or fuel computer ?
I like Vans simple setup, this is sort of what I hope to build for my VFR only panel.

Sometimes an AH comes in handy, even when planning for VFR operations only.

And I'm using Van's Aircraft as an example; where two employees became casualties, when inadverdantly entering IMC conditions. At that point, I'm sure an artificial horizon would have been beneficial.
