Mounting bezel

[KNicholas2]

I want to add a second SkyView monitor in front of the passenger seat in my RV9. I would like it offset by 10 -15 degrees tilting toward the pilot seat.
Does anyone make a bezel or mounting bracket that provides the "tilt" so I don't have to fabricate one?

This sounds like an ideal job for a panel building company such as Aerotronics or Stein Air.

I have done it. It is fairly easy to make if you are able. I used a single piece of Al with 3 bends in it. 1 90 deg bend for a flange against the panel. 1 90 deg bend for the flange to hold nutplates for the display. Another approx 20 or 30 deg bend to accommodate the thickness of the display. That was it.

It makes all the difference in the world for usability if you want to effectively use the copilot screen in an RV.

I agree that an angled bezel would make the display in front of the co-pilot much more readable to the pilot. It will still be out of your normal scan. After using an angled bezel for a year, I rebuilt the panel in my RV-7 to have the second display in the middle of the panel. Easily viewable now.
