Mounting options Garmin 296 in Jabiru

[Roscoe]

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

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.

Watch it doesn't get too hot in sunlight. I just wrapped it in a white rag. Nev

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
