Cut mounts

I cut two mounts out of 3/4" HDPE. If you desire only one, you can just set depth of second mount to zero.

Estimated time: 20 minutes

Drill and tap

Leave blocks and tabs intact while drilling mounts.

I used a marking tool to draw centerline down back of mount and the mounting plate for positioning of holes. Drill two holes (inners) with #19 drill (4.2164mm / .166") for use with M5 tap. Drill two more holes (outers) to fit hardware of your choosing. I went with traditional wood screws.

On front side, drill another #19 hole lined up with center of rod holder (cutout) and tap. For the clamp I chose a medium lag screw with hex head and flange. Drill appropriate sized hole for screw and larger drill for the tab part of clamp.

Estimated time: 45 minutes

Clean up and mount

Clean up tabs, bore should be smooth for router. Mount on backing plate, adjust slide as needed, and enjoy!
