Thanks for all the answers guys!  Matt, what you're describing sounds a
bit like the instructions that Bob Pastorello put together for a
PastoMount:

If your version doesn't require a nose ring, I'm interested!

Vince, I couldn't find a Hyde or Budd mount that fit.  I doubt either
one of them has idle time to make what would amount to a one off.  Now
if the list did a group Reactor build...  ;-)

Ron, you are right on - the mount I have on my Somethin' Extra is a
Sullivan backplate mount and not a K&B.  My first option may be to find
one of those.  The one on the Somethin' Extra has served well - and it
is a very light mount.

Dean, I'm going to take a look at the Dave Brown mount - it sounds just
a shade heavier but if it's in current production that sure beats the
Sullivan.
