Said Cherokee airplanes have a hanger that is supposed to support the back
of the radios, but it is rarely connected in any meaningful way. I found it
floating loose on my airplane. When I re did the radios I made a little
bracket to support the back end of both sides of the radio stack. The
mechanic said "what are you making that for?" and I showed him. He'd never
seen the hanger bracket used, either.
