Here's my version of an aft tray for equipment. I started with the idea from N541RV, but wanted to do something different for support. I ended up ordering two more F-1029 ribs from Van's ($13 each) and trimming, bending etc to fit. After test fitting the tray I was unhappy with the amount of flex on the outside edge, so ended up making two 'shelf brackets' that double as wire channels with grommets. It's probably more space than I will need (I hope, at least) for fuse block, ELT, transponder units, and it did suck up some extra build and head-scratching time, but so far I like it.
Still trying to decide if I'm going to route the #2 wires through the space in front of the tray, or drill holes and insert grommets for them to sprout out of it.
