[C320-list] Rudder sensor mounting bracket Raymarine M81105

[crashley at gte.net]

That metal bracketry is a very slick installation, but looks like it 
requires a welding shop to fabricate the pieces. Here are some pictures of 
my rudder sensor installation that uses a teak bracket and a small piece of 
sheet metal that attaches to the underside of the quadrant using 2 
pre-existing threaded holes.
