custom outer dimension available.   .25 inch optional raised edge hand rest.  the unit is designed to sit .125 inch pround without the .25 raised edge.  with the raised edge, .25 + .125 = .375 inch raised edge.   makes a nice hand rest.

Steve, your printed dock looks very good. I'd go for one immediately, except that there's absolutely no room for it in my SeaRey's panel, which I built in the steamgauge era and have upgraded several times, adding more junk each time, but without the clean rebuild it needs. I've managed to squeeze a 740 in there, but only by using parts from a RAM mount bolted to the underside of the glareshield. Removing and replacing the 740 is a bit fussy, but it works and doesn't need any more space that the 740 itself does.

I mention this not to cut into your sales, but only for people who, like me, simply can't find room for your mount.

That aluminum strip across the bottom is a rest, mainly to damp any vibrations in the RAM mount, but also to allow room for the power and USB connectors. (Newer Seareys have a taller panel; but I'd rather fly the thing than rebuild it.)

Amazing panel, Don! Is that a Dynon for your artificial horizon? You have a very capable panel! Nice job!

Mike, yes, it's a Dynon D10A--but I wasn't fishing for compliments. My panel is terribly cluttered for an airplane meant to be simple. I went wrong somewhere and let it go the other direction. Here's what the factory-built SLSA versions look like nowadays:
