Once again, very nicely done!

Thankyou all, and Lynn sorry I can't help you there as it was one of those things to buy at an auction for next to nothing then start looking when you get home only to find you have a roll of braided wire. In fact I bought a floor polisher and that was just part of it for a grand total of $28AU

Hi Colin.
The copper looks quite dull but clean now, did you blast them? Are you going to tin the ends now? If do, can you share that process too? Thanks for sharing re the drilling of holes, that is a great way! Lynn, this might help. Tubular, tinned copper braid is all over ebay, you just need to use the right search terms (and avoid the wrong ones!). Copper braid got me 3870 listings! Too many. I saw most were bracelets and 1 cent coins. But then: copper braid -cent -wrist -bracelet got me 450 listings. (note the minus or - in front of a word deletes it from a search which is very handy in removing the unwanted things once you see them clogging up a search) http://www.ebay.com/itm/1m-3-3ft-6mm...cAAOSwMmBV0wrJ http://www.ebay.com/itm/bgb07-1m-3-3...EAAOSwv0tVVMfs Ive also used tinned braid, earth strap, copper strap other similar words which all yield different (or the same!) results. Cheers, Ian.

Ian, I did blast the ends after I finished the earth straps and I probably won't tin them but if I do I'll post some pics.
I found a source of mounts but they are in 300mm lengths and I'm sure they think they are gold plated. I guess there's not much call for these. Anyway so be it and they were blank lengths and too wide so I carefully cut them to strips and then trimmed each side. Very awkward in the bandsaw as the rubber bends and distorts so I had to put strategic packers with each cut as I had no spares left after cutting. (24 required) A top hole, 2 slot holes then a sand blast and another part completed. Colin

Hello Colin, Do you mind sharing where you got them as I need to make a set for my carrier radio as well. Again love seeing your talents displayed

It's a Mackay brand mount isn't it Colin? An Australian company.
They are available in 150mm and 300mm lengths and I think two densities? Go on the Mackay rubber web site and have a look.
