"What are other people making dustcovers for
320´s from?"
I just went through my photo log and found a
photo that includes the dust cover. As you can see, a made-from-scrap dust cover
is not manufactured over night.
My particular cover is upholstered with flat black
(anti glare) cloth on 3/16" foam material. Yes, I know holes will be
burnt.......
Anyway, it is a std. Lancair dust cover. It was a
fairly easy fit. It needs to be cut to size, then some material removal for
the canpoy gas cylinders and two slots for the fwd. canopy hinges. I made
4 ea. 4-BID fiberglass "clips", that I glued onto the rear face of the
header tank, to hold the fwd. end of the dust cover in place. I just bent a
piece of scrap stainless plate, used it as a mold for
a 5" wide segment of "clip material", that I cut into 4 pieces,
maybe a good inch wide or so. The upholstery is wrapped around
the front end of the dust cover, so it won´t rattle (I hope!). Velcro on top of
the instrument panel.
I installed a couple of 3.5" computer blowers as
defrosters/defoggers. The blowers just move slightly warmer air from the
footwells to the canopy. I hope it will be enough; I haven´t
flown my 360 yet......
