Aaron, I have a tray but no support, if you can salvage yours, you can just weld this tray in on top of it. All you have to do is ask.

Who mentioned welding???? Brazing is an alternative and strong. Been there Done that.
copied from somewhere..... First off, welding is not the only way to join stainless to whatever with both strength and safety. Brazing is soldering at high temperatures. Gas is the heat source, and various combinations are used; oxygen-acetylene, oxygen- MAPP (methylacetylene-propadiene, stabilized) gas, and oxygen-propane are all common. Air and MAPP gas can be used, but it's a stretch to get the heat you need. In the brazing process, you use a filler material whose melting point is lower than that of the melting point of what you want to join (the parent metal). The parent materials are coated with a flux, which cleans and prevents the formation of oxides, and are heated. When the melting point of the filler metal is reached, the molten filler flows into the joint by capillary action and bonds the parent materials together. The resulting joint is very strong. TIG is another way to go and is kinda like gas welding. Use a non consumable rod (like the acetylene torch) and a filler rod. This post has been edited by rogergrubb: Jun 27 2005, 12:02 AM |

A spool of stainless wire and some argon gas and you can mig weld stainless to regular steel. Not as pretty, but plenty strong.

In the front trunk? Farther away from the center of rotation? But lower in the car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Stock is the only place for it.
