I think I'd buy a "Mac Tools" truck before breaking paint on screws holding instrument bay cover...

Just curious...has anyone needed the wire harness extension?

Also curious of how much time this has taken others to complete.

I needed the harness extension, my guess is that most recent 12is builders will need it. Mine is a dual Garmin setup so I'm not familiar with what may change with other panel configurations but it really wasn't even close and I think most will need it.

As to the time frame, it's pretty easy. My 13 year old daughter did 95% of this SB with close guidance over the course of 4 evenings. An experienced builder with a longer attention span would probably do it in a couple hours. This is with the forward top skin removed.

I did not need the extension. I pulled the pins from the old connector and cut the wires as long as I could. Ended up about perfect. (Garmin system, received 7/27/22. Probably one of the last ones to come without the updated module and connector.)

Same story here, for what it's worth. Completed very recently on a new build, no extension required.
