My Seneca1 has a glove box on the right hand side, in lieu of co-pilot
instruments. "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:trl%c.2833$%y.2071@attbi_s51... Anyway, YMMV, but it worked out great for me. Lots of room in there for POH, batteries for headsets, flashlights, etc. You should be able to get the tray from a salvage yard or moldy-old FBO garage junk pile. This sounds perfect. You say there is a "standard Piper glove box lid"? I've never heard of that! Did Pipers originally come with glove boxes? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Whoa -- thanks, but that's quite a bit taller than the standard radio "hole" I've got open in my panel. Were the original Piper glove boxes TWO radios tall, or were the old radios just that much taller than today's? Actually, that door has been cut down. It was taller. If you look at the right side of http://www2.ari.net/jmasino/private/panel3.JPG you'll see that my KNS-80 and my Stormscope are located in the old glove compartment area. --- Jay -- __!__ Jay and Teresa Masino ___(_)___ http://www2.ari.net/jmasino ! ! ! http://www.oceancityairport.com http://www.oc-adolfos.com |

They must have made at least two different sizes, because the one you have is
larger than mine. I have no idea where or which type of plane it came with, but mine had the lid in the pile of interior parts I got with the plane. I'm assuming it was stock with it ('69 -140). Like I said, it fit the Mark12B radio tray so it's about 4" tall and standard radio width. -Cory Jay Masino wrote: : Jay Honeck wrote: : Whoa -- thanks, but that's quite a bit taller than the standard radio "hole" : I've got open in my panel. : Were the original Piper glove boxes TWO radios tall, or were the old radios : just that much taller than today's? : Actually, that door has been cut down.

Find someone with a small sheet metal break and bend up your own lid.
Apply whatever hinge you need. Ask the local EAAer's who has small metal shop equipment. They can probably even weld the corners and make a professional looking lid over a weekend for the appropriate liquid compensation.

We've got an open spot in the radio stack, which currently has a simple cover plate over it. It would be kinda cool to use this space to hold sectionals, sun glasses, etc... A guy on the field has something like this, but he made his own -- and it looks it. I'd like something a bit more finished, perhaps with a door? |
