I see from my search that a few of you have put a Garmin SL-30 nav/com in their Europa. I have purchased 0ne, but it appears to be too long to install in the panel. I haven't cut anything, so I'm looking for someone to tell me how they did it and where in the panel did they put it.



Thanks in advance.

Hi Vaughn



I have set the instrument panel on 1 inch rubber mounts for isolation 

purposes, And this gives 12 inches clearance to the firewall,

The SL30 carrier and wiring is 11 1/2 inches,  It will leave the SL30 radio 

protruding about 1/2 inch from the front of the avionic panel,  which is 

normal for most avionics

It will go above the Dynon EMS-D10, The flush bracket being 4 1/2 inches 

high, followed by a Narco 890 DME then the SL30.

Apparently the factory folks never checked the dimensions of commonly

installed radios.



I wanted to avoid encroaching on the already limited knee room, so rather

than simply mounting the entire panel with a spacer at the firewall I

modified the radio stack portion of the panel to increase the depth

sufficiently to clear several of the Garmin products.  First I made a

"splash" of the original radio stack area with a layup of several layers of

bid using plastic film as a mold release.  Then, using that as a  mold I

made a new piece that exactly matched the original, but with the needed

increased length.  From there is was a straightforward cut and  paste using

the usual fiberglass methods to attach the new face to the panel in place of

the original radio stack.  Of course, this scheme required the same

fill-and-sand tedium that is needed on the entire exterior of the airframe,

but it was good practice.

Best regards,

Vaughn,



I have a Garmin panel which I am in the process of installing.  I  

found that it wouldn't fit as the radio stack was too deep.  I have  

used 1"  Neoprene stand-off isolation mounts from McMaster-Carr.     

You can see what I have completed to date by going to my Europa  

Owners build web-site (signature block).  Go to the back end of Year  

4, Q4, 2005 and beginning of Year 5, Q1, 2005.



Good building and great flying,

Bob Borger
