The plate for the servo is straight on this application. It has been welded to the clamp. Height and angle of the bracket can easily be adjusted by loosening the clamp bolts.

A view from the seat with the EZ doing the driving. After a couple days of operation with the antenna mounted on the roof, I moved it to the nose. It was much quicker to acquire the line in this location.

After peeling away enough plastic, I located a steel tube that the bracket could be clamped to. Because a bundle of wires was running up the column, I had to make ears that the bracket could be bolted to after the clamp was tightened.

A piece of 2" square tubing was drilled to take advantage of the two cab roof bolts. The 4"X16"X3/16" strap iron was welded to the underside of the square tubing at it's midpoint.

Looking up at the antenna and mount.

After removing the plastic on the steering column, I found the steel column. I was able to make a clamp similar to the one on the Coupe and Cat. The 3/16" X 4" strap was bent to exactly follow the bottom and front side of the instrumentation box. Once formed and drilled for the servo, I welded it to the clamp, clamped it to the column, and by slitting the plastic I was able to reinstall it.

The T2 box has been mounted to the front of the buddy seat box. The white cable connects the footswitch and Sonalert buzzer.
