You're more than welcome. As for mounting:
I have found that custom cutting stainless steel brackets with a dremel
tool to be most effective. Sturdy but flexible for purposes of fine
adjustment. Basically it's a long tab that slides through both slots of
the xducer with a wide portion to stop the xducer from slipping off one
end and then bending the tab at the other end. I'm going to try and post a
picture of by bot asap.
