Spray Coupe Bracket
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. |

Spray Coupe at work
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. |

Cat MT845 Bracket
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. |

R72 Antenna Roof-mount
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. |

R72 Bracket
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. |

R72 EZ-Steer
Right side view of both the EZ-Steer and EZ-Guide. I mounted the light bar on a length of 3" X 1/8" strap that was drilled to sandwich between the bracket and the servo motor and held in place by the servo mounting bolts. Strap had to be twisted a bit to attain the proper viewing angle for the guidance screen. |
