 Posted: Sat Aug 05, 2006 10:06 am Post subject: radio stack mounting - standard widths? |
 |
|
I was about to mount two 1/16 plates of Al between the sub-panel and
panel in my RV-6A to hold the radio trays, when I noticed that the
mounting tray for my Garmin radio is about 1/32" smaller in width than
the mounting tray for my Garmin transponder. If I proceed with this,
the tray for the radio will have to be shimmed a bit. Is this type of
width variation normal for mounting trays?
If I add something else to the stack in the future, what is the chance
that its tray will be still larger than the transponder's? Should I
provide a little extra width now between the plates to accommodate wide
trays in the future? Of course then, everything will have to be shimmed.

Tom,
Same problem here. I have the Garmin's GTX 320, SL40, GMA 347 and King
KX155 in the same rack. The SL40 is wider than all of the others and the
mounting angles were bowed slightly the get the SL40 rack between the
angles -- angles clecoed top and bottom and center holes drilled after
the SL40 rack was inserted between the angles. I used screws and
nutplates to secure the angles to the panel vs. rivets. I also used a
file to slightly enlarge the hole in the panel to allow the SL40 to be
inserted in the rack. It is not visually noticeable and the radio
faceplate hides the edges of the hole anyway.
