Mounts:

Upgrade or replace your original factory mount. Corrects the fast/touchy motion (see to just fix) of the OEM "lazy Susan" azimuth assembly by using Teflon and preferred laminate. Result is buttery motion with fingertip control starts and stops. Constructed using 18mm birch plywood for long lasting strength, ruggedness and light weight.

Standardized design no changes allowed. We will ask a few simple dimensions to confirm proper fit.
