CB Ham Radio Mount

[UKRugbyman77]

Any of you fellas had any luck with a decent way to mount a CB or Ham? I have a 2 meter that fits fairly well in the open spot to the right of the stick. It really looks best there, but there not a great way to mount it and even though it's a snug fit, it falls out. Any idears?

I made some exteded brackets that held it in that cubby hole pretty good. I removed the cubby hole and tinkered with it on the bench. It stuck out about half way and worked real well. I have since converted to a hand held all in one Cobra.

I modified the center cubby hole in front of the stick. Made an L bracket and bolted through the bottom of the CB.

I welded up a bracket that fits between the seats, and sits just in front of the center seat. Holds my Yaesu dual bander just fine.



If you want pics give me a day or two...

Do a search for the Michael Brolin mount. It works great.

I made a mounting plate that stradles the front of the center seat, using some slotted metal I made a pair of side plates I could mount a couple of radios to infront the TC shift lever. The radios are right at my finger tips.

I fitted my Kenwood dual bander under the center seat. The unit fit snugly under the bracket under the center seat. No drilling, compression fit. Ran the wiring up and mounted face plate right between the air controller and the first vent. The face plate was out of direct sunlight, so it never got hot and would never get cold since air was blowing on it from the back side. Ran an mike extension between the center seat and the driver seat. The bracket under the center seat would draw a lot of heat away from the radio, so it maintained a constant temperature. I did add an external speaker because I'm deef. I only have 25% hearing in one ear and 50% in the other. I ran the antenae two inches from the radio antenae by removing the bolt and attaching a dodge antenae bracket to it with double stick tape. It was a perfect combination. Signals and transmissions were strong and clear. Then I sold the truck and now my wife wants the radio in her car and she told me to go get another one. FT100D or TS2000B here I come... .
