A different note. A turn and bank indicator, or turn coordinator is un-necessary and it is HEAVY. In a 'Coupe, a few pounds is serious stuff. We do not need the extra load. THE TROUBLE IS, I LIKE having a turn coordinator...at least sometimes. THE SOLUTION for me is a Garmin 196 gps. It has a full panel that includes a turn rate indicator. (Is that cool or what?) They are getting pretty low priced on the second hand market, now. For a slip indicator, I have a $10 ball in tube screwed to the panel. Dave W
