I am sure I will think of something. I might ask my wife getting a woman's take might have a different perspective. She is trained as a CNC  lathe and mill operator so she is a lot more mechanically inclined than most men! She has a very arts and craft creative mind.

Your idea has me thinking about grommets and lacing like a baseball or football or sail. The problem as I see it is I do not know how hot the heat sink will get and what fibers I could use that are flexible enough to bit into the heat sink with out damaging it that will also take the heat??? I could use braided wire but that would look really ugly and might cut into the aluminum heat sink over time with vibration.

If I could find some very thin silicone or ptfe coated spectrashield I bet that would work fine. If I used copper braided line it would discolor and oxide to green. I think I still have safety wire some place left over from my aviation days. I hate to use SS wire though.

Maybe I will have to take the lid off and mount something to that then reinstall the lid. I would prefer to use non-conductive non-rf effective material maybe I can get some nylon nuts and bolts.

Sorry but thinking out loud like this is very helpful. I am not good with wood at all but maybe I can try to make something from wood that will bolt tot he car then hold the amp.

Thanks for getting me thinking!!! This problem need a cold beer!
