Well I just drew it up, its not that they sell for me, but for the supplier (modular led) I didn't take any cuts. but its definitely a great little mount. make sure you supply good accurate measurements, with in 1" of the actual. if your in canada, you should see it in a few days also if your in canada you should sign up for canreef! lol lots of good local sales, frag swaps etc. Link to comment
