I managed to fabricate my carrier radio adaptor tray, 19 set no. 22 carrier tray and the junction block mounting plate today.
I also managed to save my 4 rubber shock mounts. They fell apart on me and rock hard but I wanted the mounts on the tray to give it the proper look so I JB Welded the rubber to the metal pieces and to make sure they hold together I drilled a hole through the 2 metal plates, tapped the inside metal part of the mount and screwed them together. This is fine to make sure the rubber mount doesn’t fall apart again but definitely not strong enough to support the entire radio set so I welded 4 metal columns between the adaptor tray and carrier tray, drilled & tapped 4 large flathead screws and this will secure the 2 trays together and prevent the rubber shock mounts from breaking apart.
I can’t believe even brand new those 4 rubber mounts held the weight of that entire 19 set! Especially when they jump those carriers in the air!
