looks good!

Looks real nice! And I agree, shouldn't be problem with tech either. I'd round the ends on the uprights some and swap the positions of the brackets. That way the strap would have less angle and something between it and the floor.

If it were my setup I might be inclined to make the uprights about 1 inch tall. less metal, easer to install and remove the cooler and same holding power in a wreck. Flat stock the size of the cooler base with off the shelf Stanly brand trunk corner brackets would work too.

I also find it easer to service the cooler by removing it to dump water or recharge. I have the hold down strap go under the hold down plate and over the cooler. As you have the strap routed throught the cooler loops it you might have to restring the strpa each time rather than loosen it and slide it over to one side.

Looks good. As long as you bolt it down tech is going to be ok.

BTW: your cooler is the exact same one you get from OG with a new FAST cool suit.

I made a simpler mount using 4 pieces of alum angle stock to make a base that the cooler sits inside and then run a strap from under the alum base holding down the cooler through the side tabs built into the cooler. Cooler doesn't budge and I can just pop the cam strap to take out the cooler between races.

I'm with you on the rounding. That's in the plans, but probably not for this weekend.

Also agree. They don't need to be as tall as they are. The length allowed it to be bent without a break press, but I think I'll likely cut them down when I get the chance. I like the idea with the trunk corner brackets.

But you're holding it upside down! ;)

Upside down? I don't think so.. I'm mounting it to the roof just to be different..

worth-less w/o pics :roll:

inside or outside :? might make a diff for tech

Saw this on ebay. 41 minutes left.

Cheap beginning to a cold suit solution.

FYI, those things are going to be harder and harder to find. Some jackasses sued those companies saying they got frostbite.... used to be tons on Ebay. Now hard to find :(
