E-Box Mounting Advice
Does anyone have any advice on mounting an electronics box to a t-top? The problem I am running into is that although the outer dimension of the box fits well under the t-top tubing, the inner dimension is smaller thus not allowing straight thru bolting.
Other than having brackets welded onto the top, does anyone have any suggestions of "add on" mounting brackets etc that would help? I have exhausted my "search engine" online to find something, Thanks, Emery

What I would probably do is locate and drill new holes to mount the box with. I would also back the bolts on the inside of the box either with larger fender washers or an 1/8 to 1/4 inch aluminum plate about 2 in wide and the width of the interior of the box. But hey thats just cheapo me.

The good news is that I have yet to drill any holes, still in the measuring/planning stage. The problem is that due to the thickness of the box material, I do not have room for a fender washer on the inside if I thru bolt it straight down from the tubes. They are 1" too far apart.
Thanks anyway

no room for a fender washer....hmm I wish I could see the box and where the holes would need to be. I bet something could be worked out.

Yeah I agree, it should have been an easy thing to mount but like I said, the OD is fine but the ID is identical to my center line drilling position for the t-top tube thru bolts (one tube forward and one tube aft).

Well, I did it. Using the stainless brackets off those long ago removed velcro gunnal foam rod holders(Bay190), ss 10-24 x 1" bolts, ss fender washers and 4 ss worm clamps, I mounted the e-box in a removable way without drilling holes in the t-top tubing.
Maybe down the road I will mount it differently but for now, I'm glad to forget about it for a while!
