Attaching Console to Roll Cage

[horhay25]

Just ordered my TBP center stereo console....NOW..i gotta figure out how to install it..

I have a full roll cage, with two bars running width wise underneath the seats...

What are my options for mounting this console to the bars? I've seen some roll bar clamps through jegs, but they'll stick up a bit from the bar...I've thought about getting a flat thick gauge piece of metal, putting it underneath the bar, getting some long bolts and sandwiching the bar...

anyone else mounted a center console to roll bar or does anyone have any other simple ideas on how to attach?

Can you use conduit clamps?

Can you use conduit clamps?

that was one of my initial ideas...the only issue would be getting it to fasten snugly...maybe i can shim it with some rubber strips...i'd have to drill more holes in the bottom of the console as well...

hmmm...

Yup. I've done exactly that before to make tube, conduit and pipe clamps get a good grip.

Tap into the tubing. fasten from the inside so no one can remove it from the outside.

can you weld trick tabs to the bar?

don't currently have the capability to weld tabs in...

My center console is mounted to my cage as well. I welded tabs and drilled holes in the bottom of the console. If you don't have a welder you could do as Bax said and tap the tube. If the console doesn't fit on the top of the tube you can use some flat stock and bolt that to the top of the tube and then bolt the console to the flat stock.

The high tech way would be to use muffler clamps with the nuts inside the box cutting bolts as needed.

Tongue in check hi tech. The sad part is it just might work. If the inside look bothers you put in a false floor over and hid your gun or money under. Works great for a handy man jack mount to your roll bar or bedside as well.

Oh it could work. So would a large lag bolt put clean thru the bottom of the box , thru the floor and into a 4x4 block

From a man who know his wood, but you didn't say use a treated 4x4 and a galvanized lag bolt..lol..
