Hi all,
I have all the radio trays showing up in the next couple of days, but I
don't have the radios coming because I can't quite afford them just yet.
John Stark suggested I just buy the trays & harness and slide the radios
in later in later.
Sounds good except that Mr Stark told me all the trays (I have a mix of
Garmin,Icom and PMA products) should be flush with the FRONT of the
instrument panel.
I note from Mr Checkoways' site that his Garmin trays were 6.3" wide and
I really do not want to cut the hole in the panel wider than 6.25" plus
paint.
The only way this will work of course is if the trays do not come thru
the panel, i.e are flush with the backside.
Any thoughts?
I am thinking of securing the angles to the panel with c/s screws so I
could remove and remake them if I wanted to adjust the radio in/out
position. Not ideal (will see the screws) but that's the compromise to
keep $10k in my pocket for the time being.
Thanks
Frank

Good call. I'll be doing the same next time...using screws/nutplates
instead of rivets.
My current panel can't be removed without doing some surgery (albeit pretty
minor) on my radio trays. If I had used screws instead of rivets, it would
be a relatively quick no-brainer to get the panel out.
Next time -- homemade modular, and screws on the tray supports.
