Great Job Smoky!

Home inovation is always cooler than buying stuff off the rack...

Now all you need is some CNC 'chinery and you can start making chips fly

Best,

Phil

Glad you posted first though. Yours is way cooler looking than mine.

I'm using an Oregan Scien. ATC2K. Found a bracket from a previous install (amp bracket), modified the included mounting base, glued it to the bracket using high-temp metal/plastic adhesive (Loctite brand). Then drilled out holes for a u-bolt. Cut the u-bolt down and used wingnuts for easy removal. Attaches to the stock (or any other) harness bar. Any l-bracket can be used. Used edge trim (from McMaster Carr) to cover the u-bolt, but anything will work. I wanted something grippy. And then covered the bracket with velcro felt. This should prevent damage or scratching to the harness bar.

All can be made for about $5 of parts from Lowe's.

Not meant as a hijack, just a "me-too", since I snoozed and loozed. Yours is A+ though. I dig it a lot. We'll see if mine lasts through the bumps and potholes around here.

If something ain't worth doing right, it ain't worth doing...

Whoever thought working on a Lotus is hard, clearly hasn't tried it. Pick up a wrench and get some grease under your nails
