I had enough time to begin installing the autopilot pitch servo today. This autopilot is a TruTrak Digiflight II VSVG. (Note: I believe the design of the servo mount has been superseded over the past few years -- so if you're looking at these pictures and don't recognize the installation rails, that's probably why.)
The servo went on fine, but in the process of tightening the two bolts, I noticed that the integral wiring harness that runs between the servo and the connector housing was rubbing on the nearby bulkhead. So the servo came back out, and I zip-tied a length of split, thick-wall tubing to the harness, then re-installed it.
I started safety-wiring the two attach bolts, but discovered that I'll need a third AN3-3 with a drilled head. I'll have to buy one from our FBO next week.
The safety wire in the third photo will run up to the new bolt, which will be screwed into the upper forward corner of the autopilot housing (just about where the wire passes by in the photo).

Wiring is now protected with thick-wall plastic tubing.
Servo has been attached and being safety-wiring is in progress.
