Passenger side mounts

Posted on by Neal

The last two days I’ve been working on the passenger side shelves for the engine monitor, air data computer, and the satellite receiver.

The box that will hold the engine data and air data computers. They don’t require cooling, so no issues with encasing them in this way
The plate I’m using to stiffen the sub panel and allow the shelf to be positioned exactly where I want it, without worrying about the panel sub-structure (ribs etc).
The units installed in the box. AN-3 bolts will hold these in position. Tape stops drill shavings from getting into the d-sub connectors. I ended up re-orienting the bolts on the bottom so the heads are on top and nuts underneath
Drilling holes in the sub panel
The satellite data receiver, which requires a certain orientation relative to the aircraft direction of travel. This shelf will install behind the sub-panel.

Passenger side with all the components in their final position. Tape is where I need to safety-wire the piano hinge pins
