Take a look at these pictures for ideas: http://www.blumhorst.com/catalina27/gooseneck.htm . Bijou's gooseneck was designed similar to what Joe and Ralph have suggested. It works just fine.

You could get 2 of them and fit a plate to them and adjust to the right size and tighten them in place. Then attach the compass. Joe McCary Aeolus II West River, MD [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone know where I can get some aluminum or stainless that will fit into the mast track on my '85? I can cut it to the correct length but the width and thickness needs to match.
