The ChronoBase – Skymount Vintage Clock Replacement

Price range: $14.95 through $26.95

Replace the broken mechanical clock in your vintage aircraft with a useful base block that can accept a Ram Ball Mount for iPhones, iPads, and GoPros.

These are found in the pilot yoke of Vintage Mooneys.  Other planes and models have them on the yoke or the panel.  With this adapter you can install in it’s place a 1″ ram ball mount with the 1/4″ single post thread

Description

Free USPS First Class Shipping Enabled. 

We ship the same or next day in most cases.

Our iHAS or Instrument Hole Adapter System takes the place of the standard instrument hole block-off plate and makes the empty space on your panel useful again without need for costly permanent mods to your panel.

These parts are designed, tested, 3D printed and assembled in the USA (Indiana) by a fellow pilot from Temperature and UV resistant ASA plastic (higher tech version of ABS) for maximum durability in aircraft that sometimes sit on a ramp in the sun.  ASA plastic can be sanded and painted if an improved finish or color matched part is desired.  Light coats are recommended as common paint solvents can temporarily soften the surface.
