I thought i'd post this here as well as RC. Just go this finished and it works great! If only i could find it in black....


I'd been searching for a way to make a swivel type mount for my MJmods. I'd rather it be mounted to a magnet than over the tank type. So this is what i came up with

Total cost ~ $30 - this includes enough resin to do 50+ and enough magnets to make 8 of them.

The shower head i used cost $2.99


Simple plastic shower head

The swivel ball side will be mounted the the pump. The only part on the shower head side that i needed was the threads. So i got out the dremel and started cutting

Outside cut away

Rest cut away

I then mounted the cutaway threads ontop of a magnet in some resin.

Next up, how to attach to the pump.
 
Since the ball side has a 1/2" FPT i decided to take a spare 1/2" PVC male adaptor and cut off the threads

Next i took the MJ plate and cut a 1/2" hole in it

The zip tie is temporary to hold the plate to the MJ. I'll superglue that now that i know it works.
