The item arrived in perfect condition and exactly as I expected Thanks
It is what it says it is. It cannot be mounted right or left.
I suppose it could be 5 stars if they were clearer about the mount. This is a glareshield mount only, you will have to fabricate your own overhead mount if you want/need one. I have an RV-10 and was installing on the center support bar not with his mount.
Make sure you have Falcon Gauge Model No MCVC-2L-A, which is better and improved for composite and matel airplanes, and real product match this picture.
