  The 3500 uses the exact same bracket and bezel for mounting as the 3308.  During my last avionics upgrade we test fit it in the 525 PNI location without issue.  Building the harness for it now and planning the install for late spring - early summer.

true , but you are doing 5 hours of reterminating new connectors..

  Sandel makes a 3500 model that uses LED light technology and it has a reversionary mode for Attitude indication in case of vacuum or attitude  failure.  Should have mine installed by mid year, will let you know how it goes.

just to be clear , the early 3500 sandels have a bulb , that I no longer supported , when it shits , its a 2500 dollar conversion , just to be clear , also if you are getting a 3500 , I hope you have a 28 volt ship..... just to be clear...... and also just to be clear , attitude reversion is only available if you have a sg102 ahars , it is not available using a king or mid continent gyro for heading reference....

um   no it doesn't

  um, yes it does, not saying that there aren't differences (fan location for instance) but the 3308 bezel and bracket will absolutely mount the 3500, at least the 3308 bezel and bracket that I have will.  It doesn't take advantage of the fan plenum but with the 3500 fan location it doesn't need to and the 3500 bracket doesn't have anything special for the fan, matter of fact the 3500 bracket is much smaller than the 3308 bracket.  I used the 3308 bracket for mocking up the unit without any issues before committing to the install kit purchase from Sandel.

I have a 14v ship with a voltage converter for the Sandel,  my 3500 does have the LED (thankfully) and you are absolutely correct on the need for the SG102 mag and ahars for attitude reversion.  Anything else I should be aware of before diving into this install?
