Grill for Birdseye head shell

Post by Geeze »

3/8" aluminum rod stuck in holes drilled with a forestner bit [love them!].

Now the question is leave the rods high polished silver or get them shiny anodized black. Maybe a medal badge like a car grill.....

Question - when mounting a chassis is it best to drill from the bottom?

You can't easily drill from inside, so you pretty much have to drill from the bottom.

I flip over the cabinet and sit the amp on it. Mark the holes through the chassis holes.

I'm working on some trick mounting hardware, but its going to be a couple weeks before I can show you guys.

If you like them shiny you can clear coat them and it will prevent oxidation.

I was thinking BBQ grill.

The mind is a terrible thing.
