I decided I needed a better way to hold my Maverick ET73 and other thermometers. I decided I would make the brackets out of 1/8 inch steel. I cut the pieces 3.5 inches by 6 inches and bent a 90 degree angle in the middle to create an "L" bracket. Next I used 5 minute epoxy to glue magnets on the "L" bracket and on the back of my thermometers. They work real well and keep my work area a little clearer. Anyway here are a few pictures.

That look great! Nicely done. ;)
Good job Mike. Sure beats the heck out of my velcro... :)
First is was black antenna on the nice white tube....
Now we have more antenna on the big box....
I think Mr. Walleye is concentrating wormhole powers in his part of the universe....

Mike,
Becareful taking those units off the brackets. I can see it now with those two magnets where you are tugging and tugging then snap, the transmitter plastic snaps in half with the magnets and plastic they were expoxied to are still attached to the L bracket.
Nice addition. My transmitter has been sitting on top for so long it is visibally yellow compared to the clean receiver.
My velcro is humbled. Once again nice looking work Mike. 8) Kinda making that plastic pipe PID look uncoordinated dont ya think ??? Maybe ought to send it to me :D : D :D
Great idea Mike! How much for a set of 2 sent to PA?..lol
