I have the opportunity to get some flight instruments from an acquaintance that is upgrading. The problem is they are all 28V. is there a way to have a part 28V and part 14V panel?

Rodney,
Many small 14 to 28 v. converters are available for that purpose.
Example.... when Garmin first came out with their 430 Navigator, their
marketing plan was to capture most\all of the new aircraft OEM market.
Great way to knock off King dominance. That meant they were designed for 28
v. In an older 14 v. aircraft you had to have an approved converter
installed along with the 430. Garmin was smart enough to just have such an
"approved unit. That is the way my C185D was done to get an early 430
installed as my main GPS Navigator. In homebuilts, the converter does not
have to have the mass of paperwork approvals required and you should be able
to find a good one for 1/10th what I was forced to pay.
David
Just make sure

Sure, I recently did it for my Navion's engine conversion. I got a 14v to
28v converter to feed a 28v bus just for the engine instruments. I had to
use a holy watered part. Even for a relatively small power rating (~5a was
all I needed) it was big, heavy and not cheap. But if it's worth it to you
it's not a big deal.

Greg Young
