Over the weekend I needed to remove my 430W and tray for some wiring as part of an avionics upgrade. The unit was installed by someone else a few years, and has never been removed from the tray.
After loosening the retention screw, the cam comes out of the way, and the radio can be pulled out about 1/2" before coming to a hard stop. It doesn't feel like a bind, but a solid metal-to-metal end point. It is hard to see much in / around the tray, but nothing seems amiss.
The APIA who installed the unit looked it over and didn't find anything else, he does a fair bit of avionics work and has never seen such.
Anyone run into similar / have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Kevin
