Auto Pilot aileron servo installation

After checking with a few other builders, I decided that I would try to mount my Dynon SV32 Auto Pilot Servo in the root of the left wing.  It was a space with easy accessibility, but it was questionable whether it would even fit.  After fabricating the upper and lower support brackets three times each, I settled on a location that allowed solid mounting with essentially no flexing.  It had to be mounted deeply enough to allow insertion of the wing mounting bolt in the hole seen in the near right corner of the wing recess, yet not so deep that the wide area washer securing the ball-link on the end of the servo arm hit the back wall of the recess.  Referencing several sample installation instructions provided by Dynon gave some helpful ideas.  I used drilled head AN3H series bolts through the mounting brackets and into the frame of the servo.  The bolts were safety wired together in pairs, such that they cannot loosen and back out.
