Is this for Odyssey battery installation?

Yes.... Didn't know they made a firewall box for anything but the Odyssey (SBS J-16). Battery not included.

Re: FS: FA Dodge Firewall Battery Box

Keep in mind that most of these STC's have authorization forms assigning them to a particular aircraft N number.... If the one you are selling is already assigned to an aircraft then the next person to buy it would have to see if Atlee will re-assign the STC to their aircraft.... This will usually have a fee associated to do that if the STC holder is even willing to do so...

Have not done my research on the Atlee Dodge Installation, but have looked in to the Burl's firewall battery. Just wondering how they compared, other than Burls being about half the price.

Re: FS: FA Dodge Firewall Battery Box

It's brand new in the box and has not been assigned to any aircraft. And according to FA Dodge's website it's only STC'd for a 170,180 or 185. Doesn't include the 182. I havend looked at the actual AML so I don't know if the 182 is on there but they don't list it as eligible on the site.

I've installed the Burles on a 182 and was not real impressed. You have to trim the corner of it significantly to clear the engine mount and it seemed a bit hokey to me. Either one gets the job done though and the Burls for sure lists the 182 on the STC.

Re: FS: FA Dodge Firewall Battery Box - REDUCED

I installed a F.A. Dodge box / SBS-J16 on my 180 earlier this year and have been very happy with it. Solid product with a good fit and finish. Would do it again and it being STC'd was great.

Great price and good luck with the sale.

I told myself that I was going to upgrade to firewall battery as soon as my existing battery runs out of poop, and that tie has come.

Two questions:

1. Do you still have this for sale?

2. Is it compatible with a seaplane engine mount?

Scolopax,

In short, no I don't have it anymore and yes, it is compatible with the seaplane mount. Guess I need to update the ad to "SOLD". Sorry.
