OK, so I am not too proud to fish for all the help I can get. I am planning the installation of a GRT Sport EX in my steam gage RV-6 that I did not build. I have an overlay plate from Up North Aviation. Plan to remove 4 of the 6-pack leaving the turn and bank and the airspeed. Need to cut out the middle of these four holes, install some kind of nut-plates and try to paint the overlay to match the existing panel. I only plan to connect power and a serial out to the autopilot at first along with the pitot and static. If I can get all this to work then I plan to try to connect up my Flight Box ADSB receiver with a serial output. I can then remove all of the vacuum system and install a plate over the vacuum pump drive. I've done a few things to my RV-6 since I bought it, but this will be the most ambitious project yet. If anyone has done a similar retrofit and would like to throw me any experience it would be welcome. Thanks.
