Brief Description:  Panel compass adjusting holes and VSI ring mount,

1. The eznut rings worked great on the other gauges but not the VSI. The body is bigger than the bezel. I tried to grind out the inside diameter more but once I reached the nuts and it still didnt fit, I need to do a standard bolt nut combo or try to use the eznut ring just for the top 2 holes. That works ok but the bottom corner will need locknut possibly

2. Inlarged the mounting holes slightly on the compass so I could turn it slightly so that it lined up straight.

3. Cut some of the mounting screws shorter so that they dont bottom out in the low profile gt-50

4. Drilled to access holes for the adjusting screws below the compass. They came ou a bit low but a small brass screwdiver will still work there. I need to find a couple plastic or rubber caps to put in them for better looks I think.

5. Made some templates for the Dynon EMS also showing the flanges. My other plan didnt compensat enough for that and wouldnt work well. So this is the new layout and it should work.
