The horn elbow opening in the top of the rear-mount Victor II back bracket measures 1 1/2", and at this diameter is only about 3/32" deep. Then it steps down in diameter as it goes deeper in.
At the top of this receptacle, at the rear, there's a thumb screw and bracket for retaining the flared rim of the horn elbow. This rim (at the bottom edge of the elbow) is about 3/16" thick. Although I don't know where an elbow is available, I hope this will help you in your quest. Andy Baron On Nov 8, 2005, at 8:11 AM, Silverman, Adam M. wrote: > Hi there.
