After thinking about the folding style Radar Dome mount I decide to take a look at making one that rotates instead.
The Tube and Dome Mounting Plate will be fabricated from stainless steel. The Base Mount and Clamp Plates will be made from aluminum and then powder coated.
The parts not shown in these renderings include a spring loaded pin that maintains orientation of the Tube and fasteners for each Clamp Plate.
+ The first image shows the Dome deployed in an in-use configuration.
+ The second shows it lowered. Accomplished by listening the Tube Clamp Plates, disengaging the spring loaded alignment pin, sliding the tube forward and rotating downward.
+ Lasting image is a close-up.
Looking for some constructive input - if you see any gotcha's call them out.
Thanks
