Hi all, some of you have asked about my C5 wall bracket that I have made for my C5.

You need to get some 'Uni-strut' that can be purchase from most main electrical distributors or from a electrical / mechanical contractor. Uni-strut comes in two forms either slotted or plain, I had used plain (just because I got it free from a friend).

You will require to cut four lengths (2 x 500mm, 1 x 650mm (front-end of C5) & 1 x 750mm (rear-end of C5)). Also required will be 2 x 90 degree angles, 8 x zebs (spring type square nuts), 8 x washers, 8 x 28mm hex head bolts & 6 x end caps (black or white). To fix the brackets to the wall you will require suitable anchor bolts (I have used 6 x @ top, middle & bottom locations).

Please see below photos for reference.







I hope this helps Lance.

Hahaha! I thought that was a motorcycle lift and the poles in the background were the struts!

Great, thanks for that info, another to do job for me, looks a great way of keeping your C5 up safe and out of harms way.

Looks nice, I made mine out of wood. ( Platform )
I even have a lift installed to get it up there.
If I would have known off this construction before building my construction, it would be much more simpler. :-\
