Tortoise Horizontal Mounting Bracket

I wanted to mount the Tortoise switch machines horizontally so I built some brackets from 26 or 24 gauge sheet metal.

If you need some brackets for your layout, print the template at full size.

You will have to solder the leads and install the linkage rod and set screw before mounting the Tortoise to the bracket.

Sheet metal can slice through skin like a razor, please be careful working with it. Wear eye protection and gloves at all times; build jigs to hold the work while drilling.
