CB radio relocation

I need more room under the dash for a heat duct/ vent, so I decided to relocate the CB to over head. I used 1/16" aluminum plate,and sanded it to give it a brushed look. It's attached with 10 zip ties (good ones, not the Harbor Freight or FLAPS cheapies) and the 3M gray adhesive tape. Not sure it really needs the zip ties as that 3M tape is really tenacious.
I made enough room to put another dome light and I'd like to make a place to store my shades so they don't have to live on the seat anymore.
This ended up being an all day (almost) job...

 

I don't know yet; I haven't driven it. I might make a clip of sorts to clip it up out of the way

 

Looks good Patrick.

 

looks great Patrick ......wish I'd left enough room between my spreaders to do that

Looks great, although I would replace the plastic zip ties with stainless ones.

 

Those look a lot like CV boot clamps, and I thought about using those. The plastic ties won't scratch the paint, and I'm sure they'll last for many years. If thet start to crack or break, I've got probably 1500 more of them..

 

Sure, but you can't but a nice shiny polished finish the plastic ones. :twisted: I guess you'll just have to pull that old roll bar out and have it chromed or replaced by a stainless cage.

 

It's only been in there since February!
You know where I could get a stainless cage???

 

If I can't find a source, l'm sure Jim (jpflat2a) can!

Wonder if I could wrap that sucker in diamond plate...

 

Dome light installed. This project turned out good IMO.

 

Uh, OK.
