Paul,
So thats the barry mount in the flesh, the washers you have made seem
flat and look like steel (is that so !?). The reason I ask is that I thought
previous drawings suggested an edge tapered aluminium washer.

Can you give be a ball park figure on the cost of the barry mounts,
please Paul ?

Those are 4130 chrome molly steel because one of them gets welded to 
a 1 1/4 dia. two inch long piece of 4130 chrome molly steel. That assembly 
would then be used at the apex of the 4130 chrome molly steel tubing motor 
mount tripod. The top washer can/could be made from aluminum and might save 
a few ounces. I use the same steel washer for the top to save time and/or money.

The Barry mounts cost about $8 US each. As opposed to about a $100 US each
for a Lyc rubber mount. Same material... neoprene.
