Skull mount bracket???

CouesSniper · Feb 20, 2010

I was sent a web link some time ago that was for a bracket that you could connect to your skull and mount it on the wall, but I can't find it now. It's basically a bracket you connect to the skull with a metal rod that you attach to the wall so you can hang your Euro mounts in a natural position. They were really slick and like $40 a pop. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin

Was it from euromounter.com? I have one, but I'm not impressed, it secures your skull via a zip tie. In my opinion it's cheesey, but I have figured out a way to make it better.

I never bought one, but,thought about attaching it to a nice Juniper plaque.

Zip tie does sound cheesie

I bought a euromounter and think that they work really good, and I do not use the zip tie, i see no need to. After bying one they are very easy to make if you can weld a little bit.

Not sure if this is what your looking for but a simple robe hook will hold a euro mount at about 45 deg.

Because the hook is small and white the skull seems to float on the wall.

The euromounter I bought fit into the holes in the skull very sloppily. The skull would flop around all over without the zip tie. It still kind of does with the zip tie, and it was impossible to get it truley plumb level and square. Like was mentioned above, it is a simple design and easily duplicated. It can also be made to fit your skull tight without the use of a zip tie. Also, to get it shipped from Canada cost an arm and a leg and took forever to get here. I think it came by dog sled. So this post isn't totally negative I will say that they do look cool.

Shummy - that's the one. But the zip tie does sound cheesy. I was hoping I could still take the skull off and put it back on easily, but it doesn't sound that way. That robe hook idea might work...

Thanks guys.
