Take a look at a universal CB/Ham radio mount.

Here are a couple from Amazon UK:




Here is one from Amazon US:

Over the years, I have made several brackets for different radios by bending proper sized, 1/8 ¡° thick aluminum plate into a U shape. Then drilled mounting holes to accommodate the radio and permanent mounting. And, then painted it...black. A metal shop can make one in a jiffy. Make sure measurements allow for a 1/2 ¡° space between the radio and bracket.

All,
?Thanks for the reply's and information and yes I did search the Web and found all the major dealers out of stock. Just to be clear this is not a life and or death have to have I made my own mounting bracket that works just fine. I just like to keep things original and complete when it comes to my radio equipment (and most other things as well) So if I run onto a bracket that no one needs or wants that would be great if not Oh well life will go on. By the way Tony VA7TF I only use 1/16 on each side of the radio and the screws fit as they should if i had used a 1/2 inch the screws would not have reached without having to deform (bend out of shape) the bracket. Again thank you all for the reply's. Take care stay safe

The 1/2 inch is between the radio top/bottom and the bracket.?
