I'm scratching my brain for ideas to build a slide in/out radio stack with garmin boxes. Being able to withdraw the stack and then disconnect the d-subs, rather than having to reach up behind the dash, is the objective of course.
Avoiding drilling the ribs for each tray is another preference and instead, to mount the trays in a subframe with less / no fixings to the main structure. Akin to the dynon chassis for their screens in some respects.
But as there's very little clearance either side of the stack against the ribs as it is, perhaps the subframe sitting on a horizontal captive rail would be rigid enough ? With a GTN650 at the bottom of the stack that would give the back end support too.
