Radio Tray Glove Box?

My Seneca1 has a glove box on the right hand side, in lieu of co-pilot
instruments.

Anyway, YMMV, but it worked out great for me. Lots of room in
there for POH,
batteries for headsets, flashlights, etc. You should be able to get the
tray from a
salvage yard or moldy-old FBO garage junk pile.

This sounds perfect.

You say there is a "standard Piper glove box lid"? I've never heard of
that!

Did Pipers originally come with glove boxes?

Were the original Piper glove boxes TWO radios tall, or were the old radios
just that much taller than today's?

Actually, that door has been cut down. It was taller. If you look at the
right side of http://www2.ari.net/jmasino/private/panel3.JPG you'll see
that my KNS-80 and my Stormscope are located in the old glove compartment
area.

They must have made at least two different sizes, because the one you have is
larger than mine. I have no idea where or which type of plane it came with, but mine
had the lid in the pile of interior parts I got with the plane. I'm assuming it was
stock with it ('69 -140).

Like I said, it fit the Mark12B radio tray so it's about 4" tall and standard
radio width.

Find someone with a small sheet metal break and bend up your own lid.
Apply whatever hinge you need. Ask the local EAAer's who has small metal
shop equipment. They can probably even weld the corners and make a
professional looking lid over a weekend for the appropriate liquid
compensation.

Does anyone make a "glove box"-type of container that can be slid into a
vacant radio tray spot?

We've got an open spot in the radio stack, which currently has a simple
cover plate over it. It would be kinda cool to use this space to hold
sectionals, sun glasses, etc...

A guy on the field has something like this, but he made his own -- and it
looks it. I'd like something a bit more finished, perhaps with a door?
