Received a package from Mr Raminator with a recoil unit and a Visaton speaker and mate, I tip my hat to you for that.

Also got another package from an address I dont know, contained another recoil unit
![Shifty :shifty:](./images/smilies/icon_shifty.gif)
To that person, I send thanks and appreciation(you know who you are)
So on with the mounting.and as this is an old type H/L Tiger, there are no correct mounting points to take a Taigen recoil unit.
![Problem :problem:](./images/smilies/icon_problem.gif)
I got out the trusty cardboard & made a template to pick up redundant stock elevation unit mounts and to then cross over to the new Taigen system.
Worked out ok.
Used brass sheet to create the new mounting plate and planned to secure the stock Taigen plate to the brass with new screws and a good dose of PVA glue to add to the retention.
Also, tested out the Taigen plastic mantlet to the heat method to make zimmerit on the reverse side in case things went pear-shaped.
Its great to melt.
So on went the zim pattern near enough for this kid.
Began the fitting of the recoil unit from Mr Raminator based on the cardboard template & it was looking great until I got over excited and blatantly F$%#$@ d the thing

Thats for another day and another recovery mission. I'm afraid.
So in went the other one, with the lessons of the first mess firmly in front of mind.
It was a bit tight in places so I took it out again to muck around with holes and alignment.
So far - so good.
