That's still not the ideal position, but your choices are limited. I don't think enlarging the OAT hole will help.
At any rate, I recommend you look at the installation manual and make a template before committing. The case can be mounted upside down, depending on how you want the offset, then the display can be rotated with some button pushing.

Thanks, I really like this idea. Not sure what the costs would be to move the STEC 60-2 control head, but I scan that frequently to be certain I'm the correct AP mode (Heading, NAV, VS, Soft Capture, ALT, Approach, Ready, etc) so it being closer to the six-pack makes sense. I'll get a template made and see if the EDM 790 fits where the OAT & AP head were. I'm pretty sure it will.
Again, thanks for the great idea!
