western Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 use some longer screws & drill the panel using the CB bracket as a template, you only need a 2mm drill bit, the screws will pull themselves into the metal panel under the black vinyl covering, I have 3 transcievers attached to that area.

Happyoldgit Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 An alternative is to use some industrial strength self adhesive velcro on the dash and top of the rig. I emphasise here industrial strength and not the stuff that you get in haberdashery shops ...you know the sort of place that sell wool and elastic for old ladies knickers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirkthe1 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 the stuff that you get in haberdashery shops ...you know the sort of place that sell wool and elastic for old ladies knickers you seem to know alot about these places! i presume you made the mistake of buying some velcro whilst buying " a little something for the weekend" maybe im driving off topic and should start a new sub forum group for like minded people... any way, i was just going to say if you go with the velcro its worth paying more as the cheap stuff will fail quite quickly. when i worked at a large home improvement chain we used it on the forklifts to hold the light on and we gave up after the 3rd replacement light:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
