Fender table and jack spacer
I made a small table for my fender to hold my radio and drinks. My first attempt was the thin aluminum pieces with the bend it. It was made from a sheet of 1/16” thick 5052 aluminum I picked up at a scrap yard. I wanted a soft aluminum I could easily bend by clamping it to a table and then tapping on it with a rubber mallet to bend it. I then used the top part of my belt sander to smooth out the radius cut so it fits flush with the fender. You are limited to what the yard has in sizes and so I bent it and mounted it with 2 screws thru the fender and some adhesive sealant on the underside edges next to the wall. It worked great but it only was big enough to hold the radio. I went thru my scraps and found a sheet of 1/8” that I cut down to attach to the angled piece. The only thing holding it on are the 2 flat head screws and a dabs of adhesive on the corners. It is now big enough to hold everything. The spacer for the jack is ¾” oak flooring with a clear urethane coating. I wanted to have a little more clearance when exiting driveways.

I thought about doing the same thing, only using those rug gripper thingys, cut to fit the size of the cushion, but not attached to the cushion itself.

wow , that's a Neman Marcus faucet on a wal mart sink. Looks good. Great improvement.

Nice Mods.

I add the same shelf to my 179...really makes the space more usable.
