Pretty sure my yoke has vertical movement...

Thanks for the info @carusoam Hendricks mfg is doing the panel for me, I should do the acrylic mock up. I do recall seeing the ADI/DG moved up on some panels. 

@0TreeLemur looks like you made it line up and fit somehow. Looks like its fine without the GI275. 

The other option is doing the AV30s or G5s half the depth and AMUs. 

Yessir, my son 3-D printed a "wedge" to lift the axis of the DG so that it doesn't interfere with the yoke shaft.   It has about 1/8" clearance at maximum "up" travel.   We're not that good.  Being engineers, he printed several and we picked the one that worked best and prevented interference.

Also, the pilot side panel on my a/c is bent like the original.

I agree, I would put it at the top, and did in my plane.
