[NSRCA-discussion] Hyde type C mount?

[Ed Alt]

I know about Jerry's mount, I've got one, getting another, but this is for a guy starting in pattern who is building a Focus II.  Needs a mount that doesn't require a nose ring.

  Jerry won't specifically say this, but if you want a high-quality mount ata  very reasonable price you should look at his mounts.

    Thanks Jerry.  I'm looking for inexpensive alternatives for a friend getting
    into Pattern and the C mount sounded like it could do the trick.  I think I
    will try to guide him to an A type (it's going in a FOCUS II).
