I'm upto MK IV now []

Cutout allows mount to go tight against gearbox

[Martin71RS(2)]

thats a very clean solution Andy!

[TWINSET]

Here's how to make one (cos someone else asked)

Get yourself a printer, some scissors and a self adhesive address label or four.

Print out the pic below, resizing it until the holes are about 48mm apart.

Once you got it the right size, print it again on the address label.

Cut off the section of uNDER the dotted line - this is to represent the thickness of the alu angle.

The vertical line on the left, is a marker for cutting the 'bottom' section - see pics;

Cut around shape, and also cut bottom 'lip' to 8mm from vertical face

Drill and countersink servo mount holes (3.1mm or 1/8 diameter hole);

The shape on the left hand end may need a bit of fettling, to get a tight fit to gearbox

Shape of gearbox end may need a bit of fettling to get tight fit

Tight fit - hence the countersink

Line up, then mark for drilling the fixing holes

3.1mm or 1/8 diameter again

Excellent how to Andy, Im just about to start my servo mounting, Mine will have to go against the side of the gearbox though.

A nice clean and simple design that gets the job done, with a tutorial to boot.

You're hired!
