I've been running a Bearcat CB Radio for quite some time and with the ever growing standardization of communications heading towards GMRS, I thought it was time to add a radio.
I didn't want to try and stuff two little radios behind the glovebox. Having one back there is perfect, but I'd rather have them somewhere else.
I went looking this morning for a different mounting location, so I took the passenger seat out and removed the carpet and started putting things together. I had an old stainless kick plate for a door laying around, so I started cutting it apart to see what I could come up with.
I'm super happy with the resulting idea. It came together pretty nice with some tight tolerances, but plenty of clearance along with the ability to remove both radios for service or access the antenna plugs if tuning would be required.
If you have any questions, please ask. This one is my first-off prototype. I'll put one together in SolidWorks and get it cut out and bent.
I’ll get the rest of the pics tomorrow after I wire it up.
