great location for a GoPro there Diz.

I see you used 4 x screws, I didn't want to ruin one of my rear doors so I used the non-waterproof back door and tie wraps:

good thinking christbrit81 i have sealed the screws so she is watertight that was my main worry she likes swimming to much for my liking  :D

I put the skid on gives her a bit more lift couldent be bothered with moving my fpv camera so needed it a bit lower than i really wanted but it works  :D

Here goes - still need to file off the grubby Gorilla. I made a ply face to cover the cut end (about 7cm off) - just enough space for the 2200. Drilled four holes in the Go Pro back mount, then sandwiched a sticky foam mat (thing I use for AP's) exact same size as ply and screwed back on. It's a permanent solution (for the back anyway) so I'll have to get another for the Penguin.

Thanks for the inspiration Dizzy. I did mine untidy so as not to upstage yours :)
