Blade you got mad skills man. That's extreme fabrication! This is proof that necessity is the mother of invention and if you don't want to sacrifice that ambient air temp gauge you'll find a way around the problem. Well done brotha. Wish I could make it to the meetup man.

Blade, very creative outside the box thinking on those mounts. I'd be worried about the weather tearing those mounts up though. May look into some small pieces of HDPE from Grainger or something. They sell a lot of colors, sizes, and thickness and they're pretty cheap. Keep up the good work.

Ok,
I guess I'm going to be "that guy" here. I think that might be the ugliest location and mount I've seen. I'm wondering what the plan to weather proof those horns. Everything is exposed, wiring and connections. Sometimes less is more and maybe a set of larger dome tweets would be a better fit.

If function over aesthetics is the goal, then carry on and ignore my thoughts.

Pete

I'm with you Pete. I understand the reason but that's just butt ugly on that nice Limited. Sorry bro.

If we could find someone willing to sell those I would be in. So far each tweeter mount like that has been by someone with metal fab skills for personal use only.

It will be weather approved and this is not a permanent Mount I am just exploring. It's actually supposed to be underneath and tucked away under the way back toward the fairing but it would hit the gas tank with this angle bracket. Still working and it's probably just going to end up in the fairing but in a different location than most people are using for the non rusted - outside the speakers. Permanent Mount could be sheet metal of I did this. Just posting progress as I work.
