                                          Fabricating the Servo Mounts

                                          Use  1/16-inch  thick  aluminum  to  create  two  servo  mounts,  as
                                          detailed in Figure 4.39. Use a 5/32-inch bit to drill the holes. Once
                                          the pieces have been cut and drilled, bend the pieces, as shown by
                                          the arrows in Figure 4.39. Use a table vise or the edge of a table
                                          to bend the pieces. Figure 4.40 shows a finished servo mount.
