Hi Don,

Thanks for the feedback. I'd be very grateful if you sent me the prints for
the design. My current setup works OK but it isn't anything to write home
about.

Regards,
        Paul

Paul,

That is Jack's fully adjustable setup that he designed and built.  
He sent me the prints for it a while ago.  I can email them to you 
if you'd like.

The "spigot" (concentric?)is attached to the 4 inch mounts you 
mention.  You really have to see the pics to grasp it.  

Makes it adjustable up/down, front/back, and all points in-between.

It is also in a back issue of the CMI or MOC mags.  I'll check 
tonight when I get home.
