CB mount idea

[wcjp]

Has anyone seen this mount? I just bought a Cobra 29 series CB. Still haven't decided on a mount solution for an 06'. Link

Might want to check with Big Bob first He makes a mount for 3rd Gens

I had two radios I wanted to mount in easy reach.

I cut a nice piece of 1" ply to fit under the front middle seat, between the inner legs of the front driver's and passengers' seat.

Cut it to the contour of the transmission tunnel and such.

Bolted it between the inner front legs of the driver's and passenger seats.

I used slotted black aluminum flat plates to make the two sides, and bolted those two pieces to the plywood that's now under the middle seat.

I made a hole in that plywood piece to run the coax and power to the radios.

Mounted the radios to the slotted sides.

And that's it, very clean and adjustable mounting options.

I could level off the faces of both radios, and tuck them up close to the seat right by my right hand.

The last I heard Big Bob's mount for the 06' is not currently available. It's still in development. I'll check with Geno's.

My company has used mounts similar to those and they rattle loose very quickly and need constant adjustment to keep in place. Just my . 02.

The mount I made and posted pix of above, is going on 6 years old, on and off road. . never moved, never broke, never changed postion. solid as a rock.

I built something similar to your mount for my 96'. However, the layout on my 06' 6spd is very different from your 2nd Gen auto. On my 96' your type of setup worked great.

I mounted mine overhead, been there since '01. Picture on my mods page in sig.

wcjp,

I haven't seen an 06, sorry.

Yup, I'm going on 6 years and it's a stout setup , and the price was right, I had everything in my stock pile.

Do you have any more pics of the overhead mount?

My truck had one like that I think. There's marks on the carpet from a base like that.



I just mounted a Uniden PC66 in my truck. I just make a big "U" out of some scrap steel I had and screwed it to the transmission hump. Didn't cost me anything and took maybe 2 hrs at most.

wc,



I have yet to get intimate with a 3rd Gen, but here's what I did with mine.

I cut the overhead panel flat with a band saw and screwed the mounting brackets to the inner roof panel with some of those self-drilling screws. If I'd been more careful with my measuring, I could have cut it where it fit better in the back of the radio and covered my power wires and coax.

That's a pretty slick mount!
