Mounts:

Upgrades for original factory mount. We use Teflon and laminate to correct the fast and touchy motion the factory "lazy Susan" azimuth assembly suffers. Constructed using 18mm birch plywood, these mounts provide strength, light weight and rugged endurance. Factory mounts use pressed/particle board which are can can swell from wicking moisture, degrading structural integrity. 12" mounts shown above - also available for 8" and 10"..

This is a standardized design, no changes are allowed. We will ask to confirm a simple dimensions when you order.
