Brief Description:  Install Garmin Pitch Servo Bracket

Time for installing the brackets for the Garmin Pitch Servo for the autopilot. The instructions are pretty straight forward. To use the old holes I used the old brackets and placed the brackets on a piece of .032 sheetmetal out of my trim stock pack. I used the square corner and placed the angle on the sheetmetal flush with the edges. After drilling the left I made a right hole gage.

Next I placed the new brackets on the sheet metal templates and got the edges flush. I clamped the template to the new bracket for the left and right brackets and used the template to drill the holes. It worked absolutely wonderful.......all the holes matched perfectly!!! The only problem was that 2 holes in each bracket were unusable due to the drillout process. It was no problem and there was plenty of room for adding two holes.

Next was deburr and prime....hang to dry for the next session.
