Garmin 327 sticks out too far

[Esser]

So I only have one traditional "racked" avionic, the GTX327. Looking at installing this, it looks like the bezel will protrude 3/8" away from the panel. Is my only option to recess the tray away from the panel? I would have to install a wider flanged piece of angle then what was supplied with the kit.

You would have to recess the tray, yes. That might make removing the unit for service a little more problematic. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that... why would you want to? I'm assuming for a certain "look"?

If I install it as is, my panel will more or less be where the pink line is. I want it where the blue line is so that the black bezel is against the panel without the gap between the bezel and the tray showing.

Josh,

I don't recall my Garmin Transponder being like that - might want to do a quick check to assure the the locking tab is not pointing up preventing the unit from sliding fully in.

Hey Dave, the pin is in correctly. It's resting flush against the tray tabs.

Had same issue with mine. (Going from memory three years ago...)

Your lock pins are wrong. The case bottoms out in the tray and the one pin holds it in. The second pin is inside the tray.

Also check to be sure the plug in the back of the tray is correct allowing the case to go all the way in.
