Here we go:
I was at Lowes (again) and was looking at plumbing parts for stuff...
I found some CPVC 1/2" pipe 45° angles that looked like just the right size for the Milab VM 44 links to be "mounts" for a DIN Bar (or you could do a NOS bar too).
the 1/2" pipe was too small in diameter, and the 3/4" looked a bit bigger than the 1/2" schedule 40 PVC
here is the 45° angle part:
and here is my DIY thread: DIN active Bar (90° @ 20cm)
(I made this for my own use, I will NOT be producing them for others) However if someone would like to take the idea and better it or mass produce it that that's fine, hopefully Milab may make their won series of pattern bars for ORTF, DIN, and NOS, unitl then, here is my fun!
