Can't speak for a Bo, but my Cherokee Six had the non-standard layout. I was
able to have the gauges put in a six pack configuration using the existing
holes for very little extra money (did it at the same time I upgraded from the
ancient AN gyros). Basically, it involved re-plumbing the static/pitot lines
and rewiring some of the gyro power. The added cost over the cost of replacing
the gyros was only about $100 since I had the gyros out anyway.

I am getting ready to buy my first plane. I am considering an early 60s
bonanza or debonair. Some of these planes don't have a standard "six pack"
panel layout, and I was wondering if anyone had an idea of how much this
would cost to upgrade. I probably would update the radios at the same time,
but I am really interested in the cost of the panel only.
Also does anyone know if there are any STC'ed conversions to a standard
power/prop/mixture quadrant for these older planes.
Thanks in advance for any help.
