I muST say a big THANK YOU to Abe.
yeSTerday Wednesday when I took single's aka Ian, cb radio over to Abe to check out,I discovered the mount for my topbox had fractured after the bumpy shaky Bylong Valley Way.

Abe got me to take it off STranger and leave it with him so off with the topbox and mount.
today Thursday I received a call from Abe asking I bring STranger over for a fitting... when I got there Abe gave me this (http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy22/Johnny_Whitehead/20000107_113351_zpsjanu6wfe.jpg) (http://s774.photobucket.com/user/Johnny_Whitehead/media/20000107_113351_zpsjanu6wfe.jpg.html)
that he had made today.. WOW talk about faST I wasnt expecting Abe to have completed a brand new mounting plate especially with the detail he went to acheive this, he meticulously measured the two mushroom locating poSTs and welded them onto the new plate and re-used the lock catch after cutting it out of the old and perfectly locating it on the new mount. An excellent STronger NEW mount.
when I got home I took it back off and set up a little spray booth

and gave it a few coats Hammer finish to match STranger's police pod and fitted it back on

I dont think I will have to worry ever again about breaking this mount, its better than the original and looks great all painted up. I even painted the riser poSTs to match. I did paint the 4 allen key boltheads also..

Haven't had any problems with bulls, but a roo bar might come in handy.
Top welding Abe! I can draw a nice line of bird droppings along a seam, so I know a good weld when I see it. ++
