Suggestions for underseat radio mounting

[LoganDzwon]

Hey guys,
I've seen a few people show how they mounted their remote heads and antenna, but not a lot talking about how they mounted the radio itself. I've got mine kinda strapped between the seat adjustment bracket and seat itself. However, it's kinda cluggie and isn't too secure. How are you guys mounting your radios?

I just have my Midlands 275 laying under my driver's seat. I purchased an extension mic cord...has worked great for 5 months now.

I poked little holes in the carpet and bolted the radio by sandwiching the carpet between the bracket and large flat washers.

Here is a bracket I built last night to mount the radio to the seat adjustment lever under the passenger seat.

I ended doing something kinda similar. It didn’t work out as cleanly as yours though. I ended up needing to use a few zip ties to keep it from shifting.


Thank you both for the ideas !!

Bringing back an older thread because your solution seems really perfect. Wondering if you made a template or anything when you made the bracket? This seems like an ideal solution! Thanks

He made a few of them and sold some. They work GREAT!

I cut the brackets on my laser and still have the design. I can cut as many as I need as long as I keep putting material in the machine.

My plan is to make a bracket to mount it behind the panel that is directly under the steering wheel. There is an amazing amount of space there and a couple of braces that give you something to bolt to. It won't be easy making the mounts, but in the end it will be out of the way.

Do you still make these and sell them? Hit me up at [email protected]. I’d like to mount the base of a 400xdr under my gladiator seat and came across this thread and would like to give this a go.

Having now installed one of the brackets I had to come back on and say what an awesome solution this is! Simple yet secure and perfect fit under the seat. Thanks @Txcomp!
