Radio Tray help

[nairb]

I'm trying to switch to the larger lower tray, previously had the small lower tray and this upper attached. I've tried 3 different set of feet and none fit right, what part of this set up is incorrect? Wrong feet? Wrong upper tray? This is in an m1123. I see what looks like the same upper/lower here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-radio-and-vic-1-install-started.171099/

Typically the black style feet are on the bottom and the v shape are on the top.

Both trays are compatible to use with each other

@juanprado The holes in the black feet I have don't line up with the mounting holes on the bottom. Do you only put one bolt in? Maybe there are different ones the same shape?

After eyeballing humvees all year at Ft. Polk, I started dreaming in Feb of getting one. There was quite a regular supply with 10-30 on most weeks. I threw some bids but nothing stuck. I noticed that the 4 man green & camo ones were going for a premium along with a1's and winch trucks out of my...

Thanks! I've been searching threads for a clear pic like that but missed this one.

Juan is this dual tray setup a field mod or was there a kit to do it from TACOM?

 

[juanprado]

I am not sure. What I found is there a ton of different tm's for install on hmmwv based on the radio (s) used or other gizmos they held and intercom thrown in the mix.
R442, flavors of sincgars including double stack, and newer harris models. Also the different styles of navigation equipment. That is why I suspect the trays have tons of holes depending on use.

There are at least 2 different bottom trays, one real wide bottom, then the add on middle shelf without a bottom tray and a few different tops.

Lots of tray salad possible.

Seems like if this were a field mod, you would see evidence of the tray legs being cut off with a saw and hand drilled holes for the feet.

 

[juanprado]

I had not seen that. The top trays already have different sets of holes for height on the mounting tabs.

I wandered what models or set ups needed the different spacing for the bottom feet as the tubs I believe are predrilled from amg.

Then to add more to the mix you have the turbo dog houses and the blue force tracker mounts.

I finally found a combo that worked. One of these trays must be different than yours because I couldn't get close with your configuration:

and the m1123 might have differences than my ole plain m998

IMHO, just get 1/8” soft aluminum sheet and make the feet. Simple cheap and effective. No one will notice or care.

First problem is that your upper stud brackets are upside down. The stud should be in the center of the air duct.

Then put the small green symmetrical feet in the middle and the black feet on the bottom.

Once you fix that upper stud problem the rest will line up right and be level .

The stud brackets are in the correct position for an A2 truck.
