While doing the heater reinstall, I made a few changes. The rear wall of the cabin allows quite a bit of noise into the cab, and could use some better soundproofing. Additionally I needed more suitable means to mount radios etc. A 9mm sheet of ply cut to fit and covered with carpet suited both purposes. Rather than go to the trouble of fitting nutserts, I chose to use a bit of aluminium angle to attach the ply to the inner panels near the seatbelt mounts and side vents.

The ply sheet allowed me to fit the Barrett 950 HF and the Icom 706 MKIIG bracket. The 706 is currently in the house. The centre of the ply is screwed to the christmas tree plugs used to hold the plastic trim. The plastic trim has not been removed.

It is all back together now.
