Harv,
Will not know for sure about exact mounting, or location until
I travel around and look at different buckets, etc. First
theory is mount laser on arm of bucket, on pendulum. Marks
could then be put on bucket to show level, 5 degrees up, five
degrees down, etc. This could be done with a decal.
Rch. Soon, I will have something to send you to view. Keep
in mind, it will probably have to be put on with tape, or
some sort of quick mount. Final product will have hard mount.
Yours will be proto type.
Jerry, Yes pendulum type of mount. 12v.d.c.
LHSmith,
The beam has an adjustable lens. It can be very tiny(1/8 in.)
or up to 1/2 in.

Best truck I ever had was a 65 Ford 1/2 ton. Wish I had kept
it.
Quote from a good friend, A marketing whiz for a major auto
manufacturer. "The best design engineer is the customer."
And the public opinion poll was born. Get th idea guys?
When I started designing my meters, I looked at ALL the
competitors models. I used ideas from some, and made
improvements on every level. I then spent months, and a
fortune in phone calls, and travel to talk with possible
customers. Much of their input went into design also.
Black body to resist glare in bright sun came from my own
experience. Extreme temp. range fluid came from possible
customer in Antartica. Custom paint of numbers came from
Highway dept. Tape mount and bracket option came from
many. Etc. Who better to suggest product improvements
than the users????? I thank everyone for your comments.
You can all ask your bosses for a raise. Tell them I said it
was o.k. Rick? Rick Who? Who the hell is Rick? Get back to
work. Rick
