I'm getting close to building my glare shield but I have a few questions. I'd like to build it as close to the real thing as possible. Does anyone have the dimensions for the top area? I know it extends out from the MIP at 31cm. I haven't been able to find any dimensions for the top like how deep and angles and such. I can also see in pictures that the down angle on each side kind of makes a triangle for the top center piece of this shield. Any specs on that would be great to have.e shield I would greatly appreciate it. I wish I could just get into a real one for about 15 minutes with a tape measure and notepad. Thanks for any information anyone might have.-Jaime

Jaime,You might try visiting this site (if you haven't already) http://www.simpits.org/. It has some great engineering drawings for the 737 with dimensions. Go to 'Database' and then 'Graphics'. There you will find a section 'Boeing 737 Instrument Panels'.Ken. ;) http://members.optusnet.com.au/~kmbrand/mypic3.JPG"Aviation combines all the elements I love:Science, Freedom, Beauty, Adventure.As a pilot we must be at least proficient in all elements" - Charles Lindbergh.

I think what he's after is the TOP of the glareshield, not the instruments on the front.... If anyone has any info on this, please share it :)

Yup. That is exactly right. I'm looking for any info for the top of the glare shield. I have no idea how deep it is, or the angles, etc.Thanks,-Jaime

Good info.I'm also at the stage of building the actual glare shield and would appreciate any of the following -1The depth from the edge to the centre w/sreen spar2 The degree of slope3 The internal angle of the two main front w/screensMany thanxIan

Have you checked Frank Bonds homepage. He has built it all, documented with lotsa pics. If you dont find the measures, Im sure he will supply it !His page:http://www.737flightsimulator.com/..Ole..http://www.almenningen.no/cockpit
