Not sure where to exactly put this, but thought I'd start here in the Classified Listings. John A. please advise or move as appropriate.;)

I had a request to build roll and pitch servo mounts for install into a STOL750 similar to the way I did mine.  If there is enough interest (3 - 6 or more people) I would be willing to order the material and fabricate these items and make it a "one-stop shopping" kind of kit (no hunting around or shippng charges for other items) which would allow you to mount a pitch or roll servo (Dynon or MGL), I've not seen a Garmin servo, but that may also be a possibility.  I've made some improvements to the designs since my install to make the install simpler/easier and it would be an A&P/IA doing the fabrication. Kit price would range from $200 - $425 depending upon level of completion.  (Includes both mounts) From basic components cut and pilot drilled to completed assembly and expoxy primed units.  

These "should" work in the 750 Cruzer if the fuselage is the same in that area.  I don't know, as I never seen plans or an actual Cruzer. I can find that out from Roger at Zenith later if there is enough interest.  (Talked with Roger at Zenith...the 750STOL & Cruzer baggage areas are identical so these servo mounts will work with either 750 model.)

I am not a business, don't intend to be one, but thought I could help out the community by offering this up to any interested builders and flyers.  Having just gone through an assembly, it is all fresh in my mind and relatively easy to be efficient in making a few more of them.

The picture below is a fully completed kit.  Only fabrication required is sizing the shim material for the space between the fuselage crossmembr and pitch servo side.  Can also provide the kit unassembled, pilot drilled , no expoxy primer, or drilled and ready to rivet with the typical 1/8 Avex rivets used to build our Zenith aircraft.

NOTE:  As I've done a few of these, I've also incorporated a few minor revisions to the mounts which will be slightly different than the below picture.  These changes allow for easier fabrication and install.

Tell me what you're thoughts are!

Cheers!
