How did you mount the plate to the bike? What gauge aluminum did you use for it? And are you just using industrial velcro "no fasteners" to mount the amp to the plate as well? And lastly how did you bend the aluminum without it cracking? I understand maybe a torch "Heat" maybe a mallet and vice slowly just curious? as it looks thick........................
As for the aluminum I used (don't laugh) it was an old street sign from the Chicago CTA. The thickness is unknown​ right now as I am at work an unable to measure the material.
To bend the 90s I have a homemade sheet metal brake I fabricated at work I use.
For mounting the bracket I slotted the bracket to slide down over the side mounting bolts for the HU.
Hopefully this will help
For mounting the amp to the bracket I used industrial velcro. The stuff sticks so good you have to use a screwdriver to pry it off the mount
Thanks for the link. ? though how did you actually mount the plate? And did you just use industrial Velcro to mount the Amp to the plate no fasteners? Also what gauge aluminum for the plate did you use?
I bought a 4x10 remanant off ebay for like $8. It's 1/8" .125 Aluminum Sheet Plate 4" x 10" 6061. Mounted the plate with sheet metal screws across horizontal ledge of vertical support brackets. It's solid as rock. I used screws on a older amp I used it for originally but just using industrial velcro for 600.4. Here pic of it after I cut it out.

Yeah Im not so sure about going through the vertical supports brackets though? But then again?

I think thats great history riding along! It looks thicker than street sign material though? I would like to see pics of it from the sides where you slotted it?
