I have a question on GDU 80Px, from what I gather it has the same cutout and mounting holes as the GDU470.
Is the bezel overhang from the panel cutout the same as the GDU470

Just curious as I have cut my panel for a GDU470 but will now be fitting a GDU 80Px

Look at the introductory material when they announced this, but I believe it is the same height exactly top and bottom but an 8th inch wider on each side so a quarter inch wider in total

To add to that as I am in the same boat, I wonder if it will have the same bump on its right in the way the 11" display has.
 
Not sure how this will work in an RV-8. Need to get the tape measure out and see if I can fit it in with the required nav and com stuff.

At first glance I think it will. If the foot print is 11.6”.
I have the G3X, G5, Garmin audio panel, backup Garmin com (only) in my panel. It shoud fit easily.
 
Hey, Rob,

You will need exactly 1/8" more on both the left and right sides of the GDU 116. Too and bottom edges remain the same.

I had been told that the overall is 1/8" larger which makes it 1/16" on each side. Can you confirm it is is actually 1/8" on each side and a total of 1/4" overall side to side?

The Axis installation manual says, "the bezel of the GDU 116 is 1/8" larger than a GDU46X on each side."

In this post, G3Xpert says the bezel is .075" wider on each side.
