pilot_jb Posted October 28, 2018 Report Posted October 28, 2018 Does anyone know where to source the center cover plate? I made a template and will make the plate today, but it won’t be as perfect as just purchasing one.

Do you have any problems tightening it up enough to prevent it from slipping? Any pictures of the clamp installed?I bought one thinking I could use it on the center bar but it slips a bit when tightened up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
pilot_jb Posted October 28, 2018 Author Report Posted October 28, 2018 I do have the issue, but the problem isn’t the amount that it can be tightened. The issue is that the radius of the claw is smaller than the radius of the tube. Basically, there’s only two point contact. Intil recently, there was a map holder and light mounted to my yoke. The MGF Mount would rest on the top of the map light. Now that it’s gone (the reason for my need for a cover) I’m not sure how it’s going to go. Finishing annual tomorrow, so I guess we’ll see soon 1

Igor_U Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 The original center cover plate will have a standard 2.25" instrument hole as it's holding a 8-day clock in the yoke... This one came from internet but I'm sure there are quite a few on MS. Ebay, LASAR or Paul Loewen could be the source. Good luck 1
0TreeLemur Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 Mine has a davtron digital clock in it. It's kind of old looking- like nearly everything else.

My clock was moved to the panel years ago.
