M20J Installation of a Garmin 430 and a Garmin 530

[John Pleisse]

Hey Lloyd,

I have serial number 24-0776, very close to yours. I opted for 2 GNS 430's to make things fit better and I am pleased. I retrospect, I would have bought a GNS 530 and an SL30 Nav-Com. This would have been sufficient and saved space. There will be additional radios moved to the right panel, but it should leave you room for your 696. My avionics shop installed my audio panel as high in the center stack as possible. Your radio stack will begin about 12cm below the top of the panel. You can view my panel in the gallery "N4352H". There are no modifications to change this. Mooney fixed it starting with the 1983-4 model year.
