Thread: How do I make this mount?

Okay then---now that we got that sorted out---Although the original peice would have been built from sheet metal, what I would do is mill out a profile like the one shown (that is the sketch data for the solid model of the transparent blue part). I just picked some arbitrary figures, but you would have to calculate what dimensions you needed. If you have a friend that works in a machine shop, have him make it out of aluminum, as that is the easiest and fastest to machine. Have him make one peice twice as long as you need. Then cut it in half, drill 2 clearance holes for #10 screws through one peice and drill and tap the other peice, then drill clearance holes through the center peice, and bolt the sucker together.
