Default Shock Mounting Gyros

I considered this, however as doing the whole panel is a heavier item to
isolate, you end up using more/larger mounts and it becomes something of a
wash


Yes, but......
As the whole panel is heavier, if it is isolated as a whole, the weight is
more, it will be less likely to vibrate, since the resonate frequency will
be lower.

Pros and cons both ways. Another pro is, if the whole panel is isolated,
all of the other instruments will possibly last longer, too.
