From: Michael Kraus Hi Chris, That is exactly like what I was thinking, but maybe with a way to integrate a cup holder.... I would love more pictures, especially of the top part. Feel free to send them off list if you wish. Thank you! -Mike Kraus Do not archive Sent from my iPhone On Oct 13, 2012, at 9:44 AM, Chris wrote: > Mike, > I will let you determine if what I did is nice. It is .060 aluminum (i think, same as panel) riveted together with angles on the inside. It also has headset jacks in the front and a power outlet in the back. Not pictured is the armrest pad on top. I did not ever cover it in carpet or cloth I left the sides polished aluminum. There are angles on the bottom which 4 bolts go through to nutplates on the tunnel cover. To remove the console I just reach inside it and remove the 4 bolts. Since headset jack wiring is inside I have a CPC to disconnect that wiring and the power outlet. More photos upon request. > -Chris Lucas > N919AR > > > > > Subject: RV10-List: Home made center console? > > > Has anyone made a nice home made center console out of aluminum? I want to make something retrofittable to my flying aircraft. Thinking it will screw into the tunnel cover between the seats and be carpeted on the sides to match. A cup holder or two would be nice. Of course it would double as an arm rest and storage. > > -Mike Kraus > RV-10 flying > > > Sent from my iPhone > > > > > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:03:57 AM PST US From: Kelly McMullen Subject: RV10-List: Fwd: RV-10 Oil Cooler Brace CB-1005B I've been waiting two weeks for a response from Van's. Ken Scott acknowledged my request and said they would have to "research" it. I've not seen this as an issue on other builder's sites. Any one else have this problem. I know it is minor, and I can fix it, but would rather have the parts supplied by Vans actually fit without significant modification. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RV-10 Oil Cooler Brace CB-1005B From: Kelly McMullen Gentlemen, RV-10 Plans, Engine Baffling page FF2-4 and 5. When I placed the oil cooler brace on CB-1005A I found that this item was larger than shown in the plans, and stands 1/4" above the CB-1006A flange. The flange between the CB-1005A and CB-1006A baffles is 1+5/16" high while the CB-1005B brace is 1+7/16" tall. This means it is not possible to align the two, and there is insufficient edge distance to drill for rivets to secure the oil cooler brace on that edge. I have checked with a couple other builders that did not seem to have this issue. So it appears that either the CB-1005A or CB-1005B is not correctly made. Pictures attached. Please advise.

These pieces get trimmed off once they are assembled together. The main problem as manufactured there is insufficient edge distance to drill for the rivets to hold it together.
