I am wondering if someone can help with the placement of the tube/tray relative to the front of the panel. I noticed that the bottom front lip of the tray sticks out about 3/32 farther than the top and sides of the tray. All the diagrams of the tubes don't seem to show this. So, does the bottom lip get mounted flush with the panel (aft side /cabin side) or does it stick out to the cabin side of the panel and the sides and top edges are flush? What gives? I just have trays now.
Thanks

Chris,
Sounds like you have the tray only at this time and not the actual unit. The bottom lip needs to be flush with the front of the panel.
If you were cutting out a hole only for this single instrument, you would cut the hole the dimensions of the inside of the tray plus for the height, add the thickness of the bottom lip.
So the sides would be even with the inside of the tray, the top even with the top inside of the tray and for the bottom, the lip would be sticking through even with the front of the instrument panel and resting on the bottom of the hole. Now this would be a perfect world, so you would have to add some to the width and height to allow for clearances.

Yep, I only have the trays now. I see what your saying. I have this as part
of a stack. The GTX327 is this way too I think. But, the sl30 and gma340 do
not have the lip.
thanks

If you look up "radiorax" and get dimensions that they use for the screws, that should be a good basis for all of your instruments. You can actually mount it further in or out as it suits you, but going with the standard dimensions that the radiorax people use is a good bet. All of your instruments should use this same dimension. Using that dimension on the screw holes will put the tray where it needs to be.

Deems,
I see that and I guess I'll find a happy medium.
Also, the sl30 does not have countersunk holes like the other radios, what
type of screws did you use on the sl30 tray at the front (assume you had an
sl30) ?
Thanks
Chris

It's been a while since I built the radio stack, but I'm pretty sure
that I used the screws that came with the SL 30 radio/rack. I just went
back and checked the log and I did have some interferrence with some of
the screws but they were for the 327 & 340, not the SL30 & 40.

I used some flathead #6 screws because that's the only thing I could
find that wouldn't interfere. I didn't get any screws with my radio/rack.
