Its true to say I'm starting this thread as its a topic currently dear to my heart but I have spotted over the months threads about all sorts of neat ideas and accessories which make our instals that little bit easier and fun.
As these ideas and product finds are scattered all over the forum I though maybe by starting this thread we could keep them all in one place for easy reference.
So I will kick off with tonights result of a few hours with my cnc guru..........

The UATD or Universal Air Tank Dock, another idea in the 'dock' line-up!

The accessory is a very simple and light product designed to make the fixing of almost any sized air tank simple and secure. The frame is cnc cut FR4, and once slotted together is fixed by a little cyano. Four small rubber U section dampers slot into recesses in the two outer rails to add grip.
The centre rail has two pads which provide screw fixing options should the device require to be removable, gluing can also be an option.
The tank sits on the rubber 'feet' set in the outer rails, one cable tie or length of velcro is passed through pre-machined slots in the outer rails and fixes the tank in place.
The UATD end panels have two thin outer legs which can be easily sanded to match a fuselage contour and allow flush fitting, naturally fitting can also be made to equipment panels and formers etc.

Hope you like the UATD, PM me for more details.

Looking forward to seeing all the great items and ideas .......
