The valve mount

Fabrication instructions

  1. Find your hydraulic solenoid valve and locate its mounting holes on the back. Put the plate under it so that the mounts on the valve align with the top of the plate.
  2. Use spray paint to mark the holes on the mount's location to the 6"x12" plate. Center punch them.
  3. Drill the holes to at least a 1/4" large (you might want to oversize them a bit, as it very difficult to get them in the perfect location.)
  4. Punch 13/16" holes at the bottom of the plate.
