These files are a 3D model and 2D drawings for the GRT Sport 10.1 Display.
Plug it in to your favorite panel (Panther).
The model and drawings are based on scaling the image available from GRT Avionics.
Noting this model is being used to place in the panel as a 3D cad assembly.
It does not in anyway actually represent a copy of the device.
All for fun and experimenting.

Most updated files live on Grabcad:

Adding a flat Panel Blank Drawing and a Panel Cutout Drawing. Both Pdf and Dwg formats.
The blank panel drawing is not from SPA. I reversed engineered the panel to the best of my ability. To say the least its not perfect, but either am I....
Available as a Solidworks 2D and 3D Part Drawings also.

R1/2-8-2021:
Had to revise these dwgs (to the folks who downloaded from yesterday)
I noticed some interference with the frame and panel that had me move the headset jacks and primary switch.
Emachine quoted $143.00 for the panel material, set up, cut, and delivery.

Nice work Rick, thank you. I am using a 320 but can use much of this diagram.

Rev.1: Revised drawings to final prior to installation. Expect one more revision - as installed. Also added a panel layout drawing for conceptual purposes.
Rev.4: Final Wiring and layout prior to installation and panel cut.

I created DC wiring diagrams for my Panther LS in Solidworks. EAA offers this 2D/3D cad program free for members. It is very easy to use and fairly intuitive.

I based my electrical design on the Aeroelectric drawing files and B&C electric products. I don't mind sending them to members on this forum if you are able to use them as a starting point in your own electrical designs. DM me for your preferred drawing format. .pdfs, .slddrw or .dwg formats.

Please feel free to critique the drawings and feed them back to me for corrections. I am sure there is more to be done.

Notes:
The ignition and fuel systems are for a Corvair with Dual Ignition.
The voltage Regulator is the new B&C Electric AVC1. It features three functions in one and is Aircraft purpose built v the JohnDeere type VR.
Scheme uses GRT Avionics as primary EFIS and MGL Avionics as a backup.
Basic Day/Night VFR scheme. The final lighting is FLYLEDS.
Based on the Aeroelectric Connection Handbook and drawing Z09A. Easily found on the internet.
The drawings are my draft design. I have not wired my airplane yet. They are not 100% the final scheme.
I chose to utilize relays to operate most of the devices that are on toggle switches. There is a way to operate the toggle switch without the intermediate relays if you so desire.
