Title: 737 back wall/door
Post by: jackpilot on February 04, 2015, 11:41:43 AM
Hi Guys
Building my back wall.
Would someone have these measurements (in yellow), as the section behind the capt seems a bit  further back (for the jumpseat I suppose)

Hi Jack,

I'll grab them of my shell for you when I get home from work. I did think they were in the measurement guide done by Markuspilot though...

Hello Karl
Thank you

Markus gives the distance from the door to the bulkhead but I figured the Capt bulhead was not level with the FO's.
Actually I may be wrong and my drawing should be as below (both CBpanels at the same level)and an encroachment for the jumpseat.
Not clear (to me ) on Markus drawing
Would someone have a picture?

???

Someone uploaded these a while back, and I kept them for reference when I do my back wall.  Hope it helps, Jack.  Please take lots of pics as that is on my short list if I ever finish wiring the MIP

Hi Jack,

I can confirm both the captain and FO panels are in the same level, with a recess for the observer seat.
Unfortunately, I'm stuck at work, so it'll be tomorrow before I can get the measurements to you. I have a terrible memory, so if I don't do it, feel free to remind me!

Hi Warren,

The last three pics in your post are actually of my deck :)

Cheers,
Karl

Hey Jack,

Okay, the pic you have shows three lines, but here are pics of mine and I used the actual B737 sizes. However, you must adjust for the thickness of your building material; I used 1/2 inch plywood for mine.

You will see in the attachments a closeup pic of the measurement, and then a wide shot of the area it is for under that. They will be coupled like that throughout...

Hey Jack,

If you add 10 inches from the front to the back you would have more room to move your seats back... You see, I moved the J-rails back away from the MIP, so the seats go back further towards the CB panels. Well, in the normal configuration they almost hit the panels when all the way back, so I moved the position of the CB panels back that 10 inches, and then built everything behind that in the normal measurements.

Also, I suggest you do what I did...make your entire back end on a movable platform; otherwise, if you ever need to get the seats or pedestal out you wont be able to because of the door width being just 21-22 inches.
