[QUOTE="Codeman, post: 36434, member: 146"] Well I started on my V bottom conversion this evening. I decided since I had the scrap laying around that I could knock out my TM mount for the front of the boat. Start with nothing. [img]https://james.semoatvriders.com/My%20Boat/TM%20Mount/P6280188.jpg[/img] Add a few odd pieces of angle iron from the scrap bin. [img]https://james.semoatvriders.com/My%20Boat/TM%20Mount/P6280190.jpg[/img] Tack them together and do a test fit. Hmmm looks like i need to make some angled spacers. [img]https://james.semoatvriders.com/My%20Boat/TM%20Mount/P6280192.jpg[/img] A couple of washers and a small piece of pipe, Ok thats covered. [img]https://james.semoatvriders.com/My%20Boat/TM%20Mount/P6280193.jpg[/img] Add a piece of square tube for the rear brace/ mounting holes and weld it up solid. [img]https://james.semoatvriders.com/My%20Boat/TM%20Mount/P6280195.jpg[/img] Add a chunk of wood for it to clamp to, and we are in business. [img]https://james.semoatvriders.com/My%20Boat/TM%20Mount/P6280198.jpg[/img] Looks decent to me. [img]https://james.semoatvriders.com/My%20Boat/TM%20Mount/P6280200.jpg[/img] It still needs to be painted, but I will wait till I have a chance to try it out before I go to the trouble. Hopefully it will get to see some water time this next week. I may still need to add a backing plate or something on the bottom side of the aluminum. The out side edge is very strong but even with some huge fender washers the inside flexes a bit. I'll just have to try it and see if it needs anything else. Well next come finishing the floor so I have a flat spot for your feet in the front of the boat. [/QUOTE]
