Following the example of others in the group, I fitted one to mine.

nylon for my brackets but you could use Starbord or similar.  The cylinder
the unit is standing on is a piece of plastic pipe and the circular piece on
top of the pip that forms the mount for the actual rudder reference unit is
one of the cut outs from the brackets.  I used a single long countersunk
machine screw and nut to mount this piece and the tube to the bracket.

6631&i=20131015194023608&p=1 for the templates I used to cut out the
brackets.  As you can see from the photo, I printed out the template and
stuck it to the sheet before cutting out.

Hope this helps,
