Ouch. Well at least you'll have a spare!

Here is the kit finished.

Thats a looker of a kit Nevin, and looks ad though the new rail mount system is working good. Is it pretty stable?

Nevin,

Can't help but admire what you have done with that gorgeous kit!

As always, the forum is such a helpful and friendly place to share solutions and accomplishments!

I'm currently restoring a Club Dat kit and wondering if the atlas mount could be an option. You sure have me thinking about it...

The Atlas mounts won't accomplish much on clubdates because of the bolt hole pattern. The mount is designed to replace a lug and offer an additional mount location. But the lugs on clubdates are outside the bolt pattern that the Atlas mounts use.

Mike,

Right, the Atlas is designed for the "Down-Beat", 16 lug kits. I'm not about to drill, no worries :) Just getting to my coffee...

Stable is not the word for it...outstanding is more like it. Was very easy to mount, and adjust. My only minor concern however (and minor) is that when using this on the 18", the adjustable tom mount is slid to the far left side from the drivers seat. This produces two problems. One, the ball arm that I replaced it with (9.5) is shorter than the other so the tom sits lower to shell of the bass drum, and thus have a hard time adjusting the T-bolts as they hit the arm. Will post another photo up close so you can get what I am talking about. The second issue is that when I placed the tom in position, the weight now tended to make the bass not stable to the floor. Possibly only on the 18" and not a 20 or 22, but definitely on the 18". Didn't fall by no means, but didn't take much to pull on the tom, and the right spur came off the floor. It wasn't a problem after I mounted the ride cymbal on the L-arm, as it equaled the weight distribution perfectly. Just thought it was interesting to mention.
