Console Risers?

So, I've tried looking around, maybe I'm not using the right keywords, but I can't seem to find anything; hoping you guys might be of some help. I recently dropped in a troy widebody console that had remote mount radio heads in there, so clearance wise, it was fine. Now I need to swap the radios with new radios that aren't remote mount. The issue I'm running into is the radios itself are too long for the console's height. Does anyone know of any riser plates that essentially raise the height of the console itself? I've found actual radio riser plates but they make the radio head stick out of the console and i'm ideally trying to keep them flush mounted. short of ordering some c-channel and machining them down, i was hoping someone might have a simpler solution or if someone offers pre-fab'd solutions. thanks ya'll!

Check Troy, Havis, etc for L-brackets, you'd want 4 to 6 brackets to raise the entire consolee off the floor plate/tranny hump

Chiefops - Thanks for the reply. Actually the bottom of the Troy widebottom is sealed; its essentially a giant bucket; only way is to extend the sides of the console upwards....

Then your console is unsuitable for your front mount radios unless you cut out the bottom of the console.
