Recieved a Van's mapbox kit. Cleco'd and scetched cutout on instrument panel. It will fit in the passenger space. However, it is 1/2" too long and would likely contact the fuel tank. Looks to be possible to cut several inches from the front on the box and bend new mounting flanges.
A sectional is 10.5" long, so cutting the map box down to 11" and bending new flanges for the panel connection should work.
