Hi

So I installed my VHF radio. Not difficult at all.

Made my own bracket so I can avoid making another hole in the bodywork.

Netjies gedoen! Het jy die bracket laat laser cut en masjien buig?
My radio is maar vasgesit met gat in die fender. Die hoof rede daarvoor was maar dat ek baie wissel tussen n canopy en seiltjie, so ek wil nie heetyd daaraan karring nie.

Dankie

Ek het 'n off cut stuk staal plaat gekry en die plek waar ek dit gekry het hom vir my gemasjien buig.
Ek het die res met 'n grinder vise en hammer gedoen.

Ja dit is nou regtig goed gedoen. Mooi gedink oor daardie bracket. Op wat het jy die bracket ontwerp?

Jacques, it was great meeting you and your brother! As mentioned elsewhere, I'm just sorry it never occurred to me to chat with you on your return trip, we normally can chat from my office to just beyond Stilfontein.

For some reason I am unable to see the pics you posted on this forum although they did show up for me on the Community Forum. Appears that I am the only one having this problem?

Enjoy Berakah!

Ek het dit op Google gesien en gedink dit was 'n goeie idee.

Ek het TT op skool gehad, moes my pa se skoolgeld vir iets gebruik.
So het net op 'n karton dit uit geteken.
