Opencockpits CDU opening dimension

[cessna8]

Hi

I am starting to build my CDU bay. I will not yet be purchasing a CDU but I want to be ready for one. Does anyone know the opening size requirement? I know the overall dimension is 150mm x 225mm but I want to be sure of the actual opening dimension.

Thank You

Here is a piccy of my CDU bay. In it you will see the twin OC CDU's and the outer dimension you will need to house the OC CDU's.

7429

Hope this helps,

Thank You Frank,

So there is a lip around the edges of the unit that will sit on thew edge of the wood?

Mine sit on a lip on the cdu bay.

The measurements I gave you were the inside measurements for the CDU to fit in the bay.
Here is how they look in the bay:
