Home made Rugged Radio mount for Manx

Post by jhkinca »

I wanted our radio/intercom to be easy to service and remove if needed. I used the standard Rugged Radios face plate then made a mount that U-Bolts directly to the stock dash support. ImageImageImageImage

Thanks Mike, once the volume was adjusted properly :oops: the system and mount worked flawlessly during its most recent "1000 mile" trip. We couldn't be happier with Rugged Radios and their top quality products.

Could you kindly post a photo of the dash area, showing the radio etc.? My attempts (using a construction type semi-waterproof radio) have been somewhat less than successful. Thanks, Doug
