Default Top-Down Products Roto-Plate Installed

I installed a new side mount plate holder on my Rocker C today. I bought the product from Top-Down Products and it is call the Roto-Plate. Before I say anything more this is a quality product and very well designed and Dennis Sauro is great to work with. Installation was a breeze, I think it took me less than 15 minutes to get it on.

Quickly found out after ordering and receiving the mount I discovered that it would not work with the Rocker C. I immediately contacted Dennis and to make a long story short he completely redesigned an axle mount that would fit the Rocker C. The turn around time on this was nothing short of amazing to me. I am thoroughly impressed with their product, their customer service, and look forward to buying more products from them in the future.

I am going on a road trip with my son form Rochester, MN to the Smokies so it should get a really good workout.

The first three pictures are of the axle mount itself.

I like the fact that it swivels like that. that is the real kicker, along with that axle mounting piece.

Awesome product. I just have no need for the brake light on there. Did you wire yours up?

At the moment the axle mounting piece is one-of-a-kind. However, they are going to make more.

Yeah I did, wasn't hard as I already had the wire running down there from a previous side mount plate. I believe they have plans to make one without it.

You do not need to tighten it into the position the you select and it turns a full 360 degrees at 45 degree stops.
