Does anyone have any installed or even not installed

photos of Van's sidewall mount for the tailcone where

you can mount the strobe supply to the wall?

Thanks Jesse.  From you and another I've kind of answered my

question.  That piece must fit between the stringers in

a taper so that it fits perfectly.  But if I choose to mount

it lower to the floor, it may not do what I need, so I may

as well fashion my own.

We fashioned our own and placed on the floor adjacent left side of

batteries. We made our own bracket and riveted to he floor tied into the

edges of two Z channels

Yeah, this is for mounting the NavWorx receiver semi-permanently.

I don't mind riveting into the floors stringers, but I don't have

a lot of floor room left in the area and i'm hoping to do it

without any external painted rivets to deal with.  I've got

one method that I may use instead, using their included bracket,

but for many installs I think a nice sidewall install like

the strobe pack would be great.  Things have been working

great with their box, so it's time to move it from a more

temporary place to something that I'll use in the long term.

I modified one of the strobe/elt mount brackets to fit along the floor

attaching it to two of the J-Channel.  I cut the end off parallel to the

J-Channel and used a piece of angle pop-riveted to the strobe bracket.  



I suppose it would have been pretty easy to make one from scratch but making

the bends is sorta tough with hand seamers.  I don't have any kind of a

brake.  Van's is close (20min) for me so no shipping.  The brackets are

pretty cheap.

Thanks for all of the great pics and stuff along the way guys.

That Van's plate would come in handy for mounting a bunch of

things.  Wish they'd have had them when I built mine.  But, it

wouldn't have been perfect for my needs anyway.  I did get it

done last night though, and here is the result:

The big difference is, I needed something easily removable.

That's definitely a better solution if you need flexibility down the  

road.
