Wanted - Electronics Bracket/Mount
I need an aluminum bracket to mount a used VHF radio I just bought. The mount I need has 7" to 7-3/4" between the yolk ears and needs to be at least about 3-1/2" high to the mount knob screws. My boat is used in saltwater so steel won't do.

Geek, go to Home Lowes Depot and get some flat alum. stock...clamp 1'' in a vise and start bend by hand, finish w/ block and hammer til ya get a good 90* bend...cut to fit and smooth corners and edges w/ a fine file...put two holes in short-end for attaching to boat and one to mount the radio on the long-end for the radio screws...paint or not: you're good to go...take your time, you'll be amazed ;) ;D ...
