Hi Guys,
Hope everyone is enjoying there Kolb in one way or another. I am in progress of designing new aluminum dash for my Mark III Classic, mainly because I have some new avionics but secondly I am sick and tired of not being able to reach the current dash. I would really appreciate any input from others that have improved there dash. If you have any pictures, drawings, dimensions or just some ideas you might have thought of because you're struggling from same deal. I thank anyone who shares with me in advanced.

I made a stick out of aluminium sized long enough to reach things on my dash. On one end I put a short piece of rubber tubing for turning altimeter knobs and flipping switches. on the other end I cut a slot for turning my keyed ignition switch. Then fashioned a place to mount the stick when I'm not using it.
Not real fancy but it works, it is quick and easy.

The other option is to make a little console that goes between your legs and then you don't have to reach very far. Does require you to figure out how to put a bunch of small switches in a confined space.
Here is my solution: the radio has since been replaced with a new one, but essentially it is still the same as in this picture.

Decided this was easier than moving the panel closer. Twenty-two years later, still happy with it. And if you decide to redo it, it's easy to work with. PS: make all your cable connections quick disconnects. I have three different trailer hitch connectors under the floorboards that I can access when I take the floorboard loose to remove the console. Zero problems.

I put a 4 x 6 in plastic Box 2 inches deep riveted to the bottom of the Gap seal right behind the windshield BowI run Master switches ignition switches intercom switches avionics switches fuses fuel pump switches starter switch, , and it just right over your hand when you raise it up works great.
The altimeter transponder on the dash is still hard to reach... Been thinking about a stick like Rick described, but haven't done it yet.

Bring the instrument panel center part back toward you as far as you want, but IMHO do not extend the sides of the fiberglassnose cone rearward. The sides need to be that far forward because you need to get your feet in and out, and extending the sides rearward would prevent that.

My Firestar SS is setup for a pod similar to the MarkIII. I wanted space for an I-Fly and an Amptronic GX-2 so I built one from fiberglass. I'll attach two photos to this message and a couple to the next
