MGL V6 radio in Onex?

Postby N541X » Thu May 21, 2015 5:53 pm

Hello all. I have an MGL V6 radio I'd like to intall in a Onex with the panel in the stock position. The available depth is about 5-1/2". With a 90 degree BNC connector that I have, the total depth of the radio with connector is about 5-5/8". Has anyone found a "shallow" 90 degree BNC that doesn't end up rubbing the fuel tank? Thanks for any info on a make/ pn. I know some solutions have been to move the panel aft, add a panel adapter such that the radio sticks out from the panel, or put rub protection on the tank. A clean solution with the right adapter would be great? Note: there is plenty of room for a 90 degree DB15 adapter.

Thanks ga2323 for the reply. I'm all set with the DB15 right angle adapter. What I really need in a low profile right angle BNC connector for the antenna. The one I have looks like this and extends too long:

Maybe one like this might be a little shorter, but not sure:
