I take it people want measurements and dimensions? That really was the hardest part to it.

Yea, remember, I'm the guy who put up the original thread on it in the first place.
I already used my saws and tools to get the correct measurements for depth and clearance using a cheaply available piece of aluminum and a few other techniques to allow flush mounting.

Ok he got the brackets cut, its just the radius of the bend with the thickness of the metal that is the problem. He's going to try a different radius and hopefully this time it will come out right. I posted some pics since my other links are dead, I also have a pic of the cut piece of metal.

sorry it tooks so long, he was having problems with the material thickness and bending radius. Holidays didn't help out much either. They are being shipped to me from Chicago (300 miles from me) on thursday so I should recieve them on friday and have pictures installed Saturday or Sunday.
