Adjustable Tortoise Mount

I have come up with a adjustable mount for the Tortoise switch machine.
They are available for sale for $3.50 each, or 10 for $30.00 plus shipping. They will come with the required screws for mounting. These are printed on my 3D printers out of PLA.
PM me if you are interested.

Thanks

Just a shout out to Rodney for making these Adjustable Tortoise Mounts. I got so in the mail last week. They are great. Just need to get them mounted to the layout. Here is one mounted to a Tortoise.

Rodney,

Seems like you could also laser cut these from Acrylic— but that might require a laser cutter. ;-)

I second the endorsement of JSL. I have a dozen of them and they are going to solve my problem of retrofitting Tortoise after the layout is already built. The adjustability means that the fit can be adjusted for optimal performance after it is mounted without having to re-drill holes and re-mount, etc.

They come with all of the screws, RTR.

Good job, Rodney
