I sent them a email asking about if you can get the metal turret ring and servo mount as a kit he said that the cost would be around US $25.00 -$35.00 and if I liked the price he could design a kit for this purpose .

Hello Jimmy:

Thanks for your e-mail! The turret mechanism was made a few years ago. I estimate the price will be around US$25-35, including the servo and ring gear mechanism. If you think the price is reasonable, I can spend some time to design a kit for this purpose.

Best regards!
