Fabricated another custom bracket to mount the Codan HF radio, time consuming and converting ideas into reality - came out well, mounted above the SS water tank behind the rear seat headrest.Codan bracket 1.jpgCodan Bracket 2.jpg
Looking at the images, think I will take an angle grinder to the stiffeners and make them a better angled profile - not so likely to catch a head or arm I think.

Geez mate, that thing behind someone's head is a death sentence! What is the purpose of that anyway?

Its a mounting bracket for a Codan HF radio. Its mostly behind the headrest, but i am going to chamfer the stiffeners to take away the sharp corner - funny what you dont see when you are making it. It will be getting a cover of foam to some extent, not finished yet. No one sits in the middle seats either. All good.

OK, so the UHF radio goes in the POD as well? I don't think you really thought that comment thru. Maybe i should put the water tank back there as well to save on tire wear on the front wheels? The bracket isn't finished as I have stated already. The HF stays in the cab, where it should be.
