Angier,

I got trays from American Avionics in Seattle.  I ended up buying the radios
from other sources, but that company said they'd send me the radios without
trays at a later date for just the cost of the radios...

My heater valve (mounted on the right side) dumps into a cross-over manifold
(that goes over the top of the nose-gear well) that was installed on the
cockpit side of the firewall.  This manifold allows for even distribution of
the heat to both sides of the cockpit.  Attached to the manifold is a 1"
flange that connects to SCAT tubing that goes to a plenum attached to the
bottom of the glare shield.  Attached to the glare shield is an adjustable
valve of the variety seen on some Cessnas for windshield defog - 2 small
levers that slide open the valve to the desired opening.  Works Great!
