 Posted: Wed Sep 18, 2013 1:19 pm Post subject: KX-125 to Garmin SL-30 Upgrade Mounting |
 |
|
Dear Listers,
I've currently got a King KX125 nav/com in the RV-6. I was thinking of upgrading to a Garmin SL-30. But, as luck would have it, the vertical heights are different. The Garmin is about 2/3's the height of the KX-125. Does anyone know of a sweet installation kit that I could use to mount the SL-30 in the same hole that the KX-125 is currently in? Something that would look like it was suppose to be that way and not a klugy deal?
Thanks!
Matt

Matt,
What's above and below the current KX-125? If it's blank plates, you can
take up some of the space with rubber U grommets. You can find various
styles at ACS. If it's other radios, I've used black rubber tubing.
Squeeze it in after the SL30 is mounted.
Of course... If you've got very much upgrading or rearranging going on,
having a whole new panel made is the clean solution. Having one
professionally made, powder coated and silk screened is under $1K. Not
too much compared to all the other stuff you put in the panel and it
makes the airplane look more finished than patched.

Depending on what is desired, or if the SL30 is already procured, the
new Garmin replacement for the SL30 is a little taller and has a few
more features/integration with their brand GPS units.
