This is good to know as I would prefer to use the Garmin transponder but
had been put off as its quoted depth was more than my Apollo SL40 which
is a close fit to the firewall. I would be interested to know the depth
measurement from the outside face of your panel to the firewall so I can
see if I can also fit the Garmin 328.

Subject: Europa-List: Garmin GTX 328 Mode S Transponder Fitting.
I am fitting a GTX 328 Transponder as part of my Instrument panel refit.
I noted earlier reports that the 328 was too deep for the Europa
Instrument panel, this may be aircraft specific but it certainly will
fit in GJULZ.
My previous transponder was the Apollo SL70 which is actually a deeper
installation than the Garmin. One problem I have found is that the
Garmin installation tube is very slightly wider than the SL70 one. This
is because of the way the tube is overlapped at the sides during
construction.
A little gentle persuasion required methinks.......
Regards,
Mike
