Are there any guidelines I can use to size doubler panels for the antenna installations? Can’t find anything in AC43-13 except standard rivet spacing. For the bent-whip comm antenna, I have chosen a location between the passenger left footwell and aft side of the front spar. Outboard and aft of the F807 bulkhead looks good for the blade transponder antenna. Both locations seem to be fairly common, but doubler size will dictate how much surface area I need to provide.

Stan, as I remember it, the one that came with my Garmin Antenna was a rectangle about ½- ¾ inch wider than the antenna base in all four directions.

Hi Stan,
Here's a few pics on how and where I mounted mine. Seemed to work well on Ruby 1.0.
