Can the orca mounts be purchased separately?

Yes, even though the image does not show it the 3 screw clamps are included on the unit I have in stock-

Showing the Black out of stock......

I have one, you can order it anyway and it will ship.

Will need 2...any idea if returning to stock soon?

We generally figured no one would need one so we keep 1 of each in stock, most parts demand is pretty limited. I can order in another, usually all out of stock means is someone needs to package it for retail sale.

Could you do that please? Looking to modify to mount to the rimmed area of the tank.

Need to remove this section:

I am nervous that will compromise them structurally to a point the thread will slip or the part will break. I can have them in about 3 weeks but I think getting something custom 3D printed is a better path as I really doubt the integrity of the clamp will be the same with a section cut off.

 

[xabo]

Don't plan to cut the whole section......just a 1/8"-1/4" from the end. Do you think that will affect the integrity?

What I might suggest instead is this, it is the same clamp, but you would also need to remove the hooks on top that hold the hose. All they do is block this part of the mold when they make them for the ORCA/AquaWind mount. It would be much cheaper to experiment with. It is hard to say, my experience with coarse thread is it needs more engagement to be secure, otherwise it can slip.

I'll try 2 of those

Will I need 3 per mount?

It is a 4 pack so 2 packs will cover 2 units with a couple left over, these are pretty widely available, they are sold to hold dosing tubes and BRS and really most online dealers stock them.

Thank you.
