Bell 407GX Pilots or Techs?
Anybody here have access to a Garmin G1000/G1000H? Starting my design of a 1:1 Bell 407GX Dual-Seat Flight Simulator, and just had some dimensional questions. Hell, if you are local, I'd love to come out and measure and model it myself. (I am located in SE AZ)
I can go as far as Phoenix as long as we can meet during the evening on a weekend - I drill for the Reserves in Scottsdale)
And if you have access to a Bell 407GX....Well... I'd like to be your friend!
I'm going to start with the G1000, and work my way out from the Main Instrument Panel around - I have a heavy background in design and engineering in the aerospace/defense industry, but this is just for a personal project.
Anyways, anybody that either has access to, or can give me good dimensions of the features of the front panel of the G1000 would be appreciated - I spent the last couple of days reverse engineering from the low resolution pictures from the brochures, and am having a hell of a time finding good high resolution pictures of the 407GX cockpit.

If anyone can answer these questions for me, I'd be greatly appreciative.
The first is the flat dimensions, and I am looking for the highlighted dimensions, preferably to the third decimal place, in inches. (i.e. A: 10.664, B: 0.349, etc.) The existing dimensions are not accurate.
The second, I couldn't find a good way to add dimensions, but I'll walk through the dimensions:
A: How high does the button protrude from the face of the G1000H Bezel?
B: How high is the lower knob on the concentric encoders, from the flat of the bezel?
C: High high is the upper knob on the concentric encoders, from the flat of the bezel?
D: How high is the joystick from the flat of the bezel?
E: How high is the lower face of the bezel from the face of the display?
F: High high is the side face of the bezel from the face of the display?
G: How high are the volume knobs from the flat of the bezel?
H: How far does the exterior of the bezel protrude from the main instrument panel face?
