I've been kicking around some ideas for building an avionics bay without all-thread. That way I can simply mount my GPS to the sled without worrying about interference, and I wouldn't have to worry about a bulkhead-mounted antenna getting damaged during recovery. (That's happened to me twice so far.)
I'm thinking of attaching the sled to the bulkheads and running a length of kevlar through the bay with loops on each end to serve as attachment points for the recovery harnesses. The kevlar would be simply tied to the center of the bay. I'll try to draw something up when I get home in a few hours to better show my idea.
Has anyone ever done something like this before? Or are their other alternatives?
