Currently I have a stratus 2S (w external power and antennas) mounted behind smoked piglass. Its status LEDs are visible in flight.

Why do I have this, as backup to the unlikely event everything goes kerplunk.
If needed I could still use iPad etc and keep going.

Consideration above throttles -
In my mind, right where engine monitor of any sort could go,
To put anything just above throttles
requires re-locating the stratus 2s ...somewhere.
I can probably find somewhere.
Over to right behind overlay is/was an opening holding an old radio,
so it might mount on back ...perhaps.

Or maybe just drop stratus 2s backup?

Option 1 - Simplest install - right of Shadin
Remove EGT
G4 goes where EGT currently is, to the right of Shadin.
Not a direct line of view, but pretty close, and probably good enough.

Option 2 - G4 above throttles.
Remove EGT
Re locate stratus 2s ...somewhere.
Use same or similar panel w 3.25 cutout
mount G4 right over throttles.
Maybe slightly left, to be clear of RPM which sits higher up

Option 3 - JPI 790 nice big digit display / scanning mode or stop
Remove EGT
Re-locate stratus 2s ...somewhere
Install JPI 90 right over throttles
Remove or leave shadin in?

Option 4 - Upper left of pilot panel
Not sure curing 3.25 into overlay panel would go perfect;ly,
but stuff in that area is no longer used, OM, MM, IN, panel/speaker etc.
Far way from engine gauges, but worth considering
