    Default VRAD actuator mounting bracket

    Hey guys,

    I just bought a Pangolin VRAD actuator to play with.

    Does anyone here make/sell mounting brackets for it?

    Andy was making the mounts for me. They're really decent brackets although i've since discovered that the slot could do to be just a little wider. Wasn't a problem though as I just ran a slightly wider slot drill through them . Might be worth mentioning to Andy though if you're thinking of having some made.

    Cheers

    Hi Andy

    For the breadboard I am using for this particular project I upped it to 5mm. However, it might be worth making the slots clear an M6 as this should cover most eventualities.

    I blame myself for this error as I didn't specify clearly what I wanted. This should be no reflection on Andy's workmanship which was spot on

    Well, if it's a metric breadboard (of a reasonable size) it'll probably take M6 Hex Bolts. The small breadboard i'm using as a beamtable is imperial and measured in them old fashioned bits of inches thingies
