I am fiddling around with the altimeter mount on my LOC T-LOC and it looks like the mount is designed to be permanently epoxied inbetween the fins.
Has anybody an alternative to this setup?
I am considering cutting two holes in the mounting board and a hole in the fin tang of each fin, then using a long zip tie running through each hole, to hold the mounting board in place. Since the mounting board does rest against the fin on either side and on the motor tube (there’s two curved pieces epoxied onto the back of the altimeter mounting board for this purpose), I am thinking a zip tie just might do the job.
My reason for wanting to have a removable mount, is that If I ever removed the altimeter to use in another rocket, it would create problems if I were to try remounting the altimeter in the rocket ( if epoxied in place, the mounting nuts on the back would be inaccessible).
