Vortech Driver Mount

[SoloGarth]

anyone order one of these? They should have been included with the original pump IMO. Anyway looked to order one from ecotech . . . They are $12 so that's fine. But the cheapest ground shipping is also $12. Frustrating. I'm in MA and really don't think it should cost 12 dollars to ship a small bracket from NJ. Hopefully BRS will get some in.

I use the sticky back velcro from my local hardware store.

Ok good to know. If they have them BRS might soon. I will just get one with my next purchase. 6.95 is way more reasonable than 12. I have no desire to pay more for shipping than the cost of the item being shipped. Just seems wrong.

Yeah I have been using that stuff for years. Several problems with it IMO. First it doesn't stick well sometimes. It also is a one time use; you can't remove it and expect it to adhere to a new surface well. Third it is just nearer to have a mountable holder. The Gyre comes with one and it is simply a better system.

I use Ecotech's velcro and superglue it to the driver and to whatever I'm attaching it to. Darn things never fall off now. :lol:

Wow! They weren't when I posted this morning!

Something about the early bird... gets the Vortech mount!

 

[SoloGarth]

Yeah I know. I looked this morning but didn't order. Oh well. Not a necessity by any means. I'm not even running my Vortech anymore. Too noisy.

Haha I see. Well hopefully they are planning to keep more than 2 or 3 in stock.
