Arrived home to a surprise today... the Race Technologies DL-1 data acquisition system came in a day earlier than it was supposed to... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Anyways there is one little issue - the GPS antenna is a magnetic mount while the camaro's roof is "plastic" over metal backbone, I just tested it and the magnetic field is too weak as is. I have an idea what to do though: I want to powder coat and epoxy a thin steel plate (0.0625" to .125") shaped to the receiver outline onto the roof. Has anyone done this before? Anything in particular I should watch out for when doing this? |

QUOTE (severous01 @ Aug 17 2005, 06:07) just get some 3M auto adhesive tape...you don't see your emblems falling off do ya? That stuff is wicked. If you are not planning to remove it, that's a great option. |
