Sorry Brian, but if you follow the rules I listed in a previous post you can install the equipment, have the required systems checked by an authorized shop and perform the required testing yourself to legally convert your aircraft for IFR operations. The repairman's cert. allows the holder to perform routine main, install new avionics, wiring you name it as long as it is not a major modification, which he can do, at which time that major mod. must be reinspected. The only time an A&P/AI comes into the picture is if, for example, you have a certified engine that you want to remain certified, it must get the signoff and have any work supervised or performed by the ticket holder, not the repairmain holder. Before anyone say it:-), no, the install of a certified engine in an experimental airplane does not automatically de-certify the engine.
