ICOM M412 Flush Mount
Submitted by Mitch88 on Thu, 2014-10-02 22:15
Recently purchased a new ICOM M412 to replace my old GME VHF.
One problem I came across was the original hole cut into the aliminium was to big for the ICOM and also ICOM dont sell a flush mount bracket like GME do.
I thought I would help out anyone else with the same problem.
Gme have a flush mount bracket that fits the ICOM- MK002W wide flush mounting kit. Very tight fit however it filled up the gap that the gme left.

chopping board
I had the similar issues in my boat with stereo's and radios. I went to Kmart and got a couple of cheap white kitchen chopping boards and cut them to suit.
you can mount the board onto the location and cut out your hole to suit the icom, if that makes sense?
depends how much the mounting kit is, I have Uniden radios and they seem to charge a fortune for the flush mount kits and the mounting brackets which I was able to make myself once again out of some aluminium angle and stainless screw sets
