Default Shock Mounting Gyros

Consider a subpanel of the gyro instruments.
Modern gyros are much lighter than the one of the WWII generation!

Cessna use a 3/8" dia with 10-32 double stud. Granger carries a double
stud of 10-32 1/2 diameter
which is rated for about 17 pound in shear.
Numbers off the top of my head, need to actually look in the catalog.

Any type of vibration isolation will benenfit.

I am starting the planning of my panel and wondering how many people

shock-mounted their gyros. Please also comment if you have NOT done so,

weather or not you think it actually helped. I am working with limited
panel space (aren't we all) and the shock mounts will take up valuable

estate. I am considering using the smaller lord mounts but would also

like
to hear of other solutions people have found to accomplish the mission

using
minimal extra panel space.

Thanks


How about shock mounting the entire instrument panel?
