An update

I spoke with both the FAA and the Manufacturer (Sigtronics) and they both were very vague about it. they both said "it would depend on who you asked" What it all came down to was if the airframe was modified to the point of changing the airframe structures strength or shape, anywhere. On our installation we didn't change or modify, except for drilling the mike jack holes, which accordig to the FAA did not qualify. Weight was less than 3/4 Lb so no significant changes to weight and balance. Feds and Sigtronics said it should be a Minor Alteration. Sigtronincs did say they would have a inspector look at it anyway, but that is not required by the FAA. Thought an update would be nice, if anyone else was thinking of doing something similar.
Thanks
