Reply to "Under the surface mounting DZ-1000 switch Machines"

I use DZ1000s in my yard all mounted under the bench using Rix Rax 628-0001 vertical mounts.  Rix Rax  also makes a horizontal unit, P/N 628-0005.  

The DZ1000 mounts to the bracket easily and comes with a piece of what I remember is .030 wire.  Think of the Tortoise switch machines.  Very similar with the adjustment of the fulcrum to achieve enough throw and tension to get the job done.  You do need to make a shim to mount where the DZ would normally mount on top on a tie.  Small hardware needed to attach the DZ to the Rix Rax mount.  I used 1-72 and it worked fine. Many ways to attach, but I tapped the plastic mount where I marked the holes after squaring and plumbing up the DZ on the mount and the centered DZ switch mid-point.

They work great when the DZ switch machine does its thing.  If you have a lazy or problematic DZ, the Rix Rax mount will sure highlight this fact. 

I do all switch machines under table.  Mainline are all Tortoise.
