but then I finally got around to fabricating a mount for it to fit in an old ACA three phase motor starter box, and mounted it on the Thunderbolt's pallet.
Is that what the top right picture is? That kinda looks like an ACA box.

Yep, that's the AR mounted inside the old ACA motor starter box. I just took a piece of 14-gauge sheet metal and cut it in a rectangular shape that would just barely fit in the box's opening, then drilled out all the appropriate mounting holes for both the timer and box studs, and finally painted it white.

Here's a little better picture of what that contraption looked like before I mounted it to the siren.
