hanging arm kit for AI Sol

[Djbetterly]

Just received my AI sol blue and I'd like to hang it over my solana rather than use rail mounts. Does anyone have any suggestions? I like Akma's use of the zero edge bracket but they seem ridiculously priced. Any ideas? Photos help!

Thank you!

Check My thread below and you will see my custom mounts that I made for mine.

I like your option, it's perfect! What I'm unsure about is how to bend the conduit. I don't own a conduit bending tool and not sure who does. How did you bend yours?

Where ever you buy the conduit may be able to bend for you

I made the mount myself, I bent it with a bender. I also made the mount for Howze's tank. Is actually quite easy when you have the tools to do it.

I would not rely on homedepot or somewhere like that doing multiple bends for you.

But you can always borrow a bender from home depot????? The bends do not take long at all, as long as you make the bends CORRECTLY!!!

You can buy 90 bends.

i made my own hanger as well by bending conduit. "rented" the bender from home depot - you can see the one i made in my tank thread

You can buy the bends, but when you put them together with the conduit you need couplings and can look ugly. Also you have to make sure that they don't spin, so if you wanted to do that, you should actually drill through the coupling and the pipes and put some sort of pin in so that they can not spin.

i personally ended up mounting my ai sol directly to the conduit and it worked out perfectly.
