Can someone with a Garmin stack give me an idea on how much space I need to allow between units, 340, 430, sl30 ect? I'm thinging maybe the racks can go metel to metal.

 Thanks,

Sam, I can't remember the exact dimensions, but Garmin has a requirement 

for minimum spacing between radios on the stack. HOWEVER, If you use 

their mounting racks (can't think of why you wouldn't want to) they have 

'dimples' on the top/bottom that guarantee the mins, so that you can go 

metal to metal. (I taped all of my racks together to get the final 

dimensions for cutting the opening in the panel faceplate).

Hi Sam,



Check your install manual where they show stacking the install

tubes, but my take on it was that they stack basically on top

of eachother.  They have the small rounded dents on the bottoms

of the tubes that allow for spacing.

It's 0.040" and the dimples will give you that.   However, keep in mind that

Garmin has not updated the UPS line to match their original products, so if

your mix includes a former UPS product such as SL30, the dimples won't line

up, and you won't have the proper clearance.    Simple fix is to super-glue

a 1" square of 0.040" sheet onto the SL30 tray where the other trays contact

it.

Another tip I learned in doing mine is that it's the outside lip of the

bottom of the tray that is supposed to be flush, so the rest of the tray is

actually a bit behind the panel.

Sam, I didn't see it in the 430 manual but on page 5 of the  SL40 Installation Manual, it specifically says "for typical installations, the  SL40 requires no external cooling BUT leave a 1/8 to 1/4 inch  clearance between avionics".  I would assume that the SL30 puts out more  heat and would be subject to the same clearances.  Others mount them metal  to metal and seem to have no problems.  Your call

Sam:



Nothing is metel to metal, as long as trays are used; you can stack as close 

at the trays will allow.  For cooling the 340 has a fitting for the cooling 

fan hose to connect to.  I suspect the other Garmin units do also.
