        the mount looks great, but I'm thinking it isn't gonna work well on my mono. thats the kintec one right?
        the adjustment screws down the bottom become so obstructed when mounted on slants, you would have a really hard time getting an allen key in there.
        may have to rethink my plan....

            I installed one in a MHZ Lizard Extreme and didn't have any issues...for what it's worth.

                I'll be using one in my mono too. Thanks for the pic Joel, that's how I was gonna set my mono up, pretty much the same layout. I was just on the fence about it.

                    Appreciate the pic and insight Joel.
                    It does look a bit cramped tho no?

                        Not bad. I use short Allen wrenches though. It's a pretty cool mount with a lot of adjustment.

                            Why would you need to get at the bottom ones anyway? The motor will go in and out for maintenance just using the top ones at the back and the ones into the front endbell, just set it to the angle you want before gluing it in.

                            If you want to alter the angle for some reason once it is built, you will have to rip out and redo the stuffing tube anyway so cutting down an allen key would be the least of my worries.

                                Paul, it would probably be never, but if I ever changed a motor to a different length or something, it would be nice it they were relatively easy to access

                                    Looks a little better now. It's definately stiffer too.

                                            Peeled tape. I think only waited 2 hours this time to pull the tape.

                                                I peeled at 1 hr and came out good ! I think it helped the edges to settle a little more too.

                                                        Getting close. Waiting on my cooling jacket is basically all I have left. I'm pretty impressed with the outcome.
