Edge Comp Bracket from ADT

[DEZLPWR]

For those who have the Edge Comp bracket from ADT:

Does the bracket mount on the right or the left below the steering column? The pictures on the Smokin' Diesel look like it goes below the steering column on the right side near the pop-out ashtray...



Thanks!

It goes on the right side, near the ashtray. The panel under the steering wheel is held in by three screws, one on the left and two on the right. The bracket attaches using the right two screws.

I'll second that pnwradar!

Except in John's case, the bracket first gets clamped to a shiny workbench, where the paint is carefully removed with several brand-new sheets of sandpaper. Then it's placed gently into it's custom foam-lined carrying case and driven by chauffered limousine to an unmarked industrial warehouse in downtown Ballard. Men in black suits and shades carefully wash and prep the bracket for it's powder coating, done by three vestal virgins in matching pastel biohazard suits. After being dried by their (filtered) breath, the bracket is returned by secret black helicopters to John's mountain fortress, where he finally installs it into his truck (scratching it deeply with his low-bid aviation screwdriver).



All in good fun, John.

Jon, you're killin' me!:-laf:-laf:-laf:-laf



Actually, you're not that far from the truth! I did in fact remove most of the paint, completely deburred all edges and corners and had the powder coat shop sand blast and apply the 20% gloss black powder coat to my bracket.



Jon, there was no "(scratching it deeply with his low-bid avaition screwdriver). " Actually, I used one of my precision ground $nap-On screwdrivers for such an important task.



That was great Jon...



still :-laf MAO!

 

[John]

Man, that was epic!

pnwradar... .



That's the most clever and funniest post I've read on the TDR. It should be archived in it's own forum.



I'm saving it so I can re-read for a good laugh until it runs the course for me.



I'm sure John got the biggest laugh of anyone

I gotta agree with you 24V-DSL, I've read lots of funny stuff on here, but Jon's post is the first to bring me to tears . I'm bookmarking it also! Thanks for the laugh, Jon and John.

The guys with brake control boxes mount your edge comp to the under side of your brake box saves room. Oo.

Does it rattle?

If the mounting screws ore on the bottom and most of the weight at the top it looks like it might. Otherwise it looks like a trick piece.

Rattle Issues...

Tom,

Never had any complaints of rattles yet...



It is a relatively stiff bracket that can be adjusted(bent) to almost any desired position. We supply them to mount the COMP real close to the knee bolster plastic, but others have adjusted it away a 1/2" or so to suit their needs.



Hope this helps...
