Cowling Instrumment Access Panel Tray

[Ricky]

I am looking for a plastic tray that fits below the instrument access panel cover on the top of the front cowling between the firewall and the windshield. This plastic tray helps keep water off the instruments. Does anyone have one of these for sale or know where I can get one? I have a 1971 337F model. Thanks. Ricky

You could check with Owen Bell at Aviation Enterprises, he has molds for some items and can make new ones.

The part you want is #17 on the illustration. This is from CessnaParts.com (ouch)!!!

You should buy the seal also #15. This gets torn up from working in the radio bay. Don't just rely on the tray for the moisture, you should try to keep the moisture from intruding from the start and the tray is there for insurance.

Herb,
Thank you for the information. I will call Don at Commodore and speak with him. He has sold me other parts in past and is very reliable. Wow, Cessna parts is really proud of their stuff I guess. I will also get the seal as well. Thanks again for the references.
