OK, after sleeping on it I just was not satisfied with my bracket setup. I had to used some 1.5" spacers to get from my bracket to the radio bracket. It just does not look professional to me.
Last night while trying to sleep, it hit me...radio bracket built into the mount...DUH!
So I took some measurements and decided to raise the radio 1/2" and move it toward the windshield 1". I started by cutting another piece of 1/8" aluminum 3" by 17". I cut some radio brackets into it, cut them to length and bent them between 2 pieces of oak in my vise.
Some holes drilled to line up with the visor clips and a couple for the radio mount screws and it was done.
Then I primed it with etching primer and painted it. I decided on black even though I have the correct blue. It just seemed to go with the radio better.
