Roscoe Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hi all. I have a Garmin 296 and would appreciate hearing from anybody that had installed one in a Jabiru Panel. My Aircraft is J170-d and the Panel space is too small for the Unit and Mount. Was thinking a Suction type Mount may be the way to go but looking for advice. Thanks, Roscoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabiru Phil Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Garmin make a slide in and rotational adapter. Mounted mine on the dash as pictured. Swivels on ratchet base which is very handy in sunlight. Yet to tidy up the wiring now that I am happy with the location. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Watch it doesn't get too hot in sunlight. I just wrapped it in a white rag. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetjr Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 My temporary mount - for over 100hrs - was some heavy duty velcro onto the top of the panel, has strong adhesive onto bottom of 296. Took it out after every flight to avoid heat Worked so well I only recently changed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
