outdoor mounting. [RE-wrenches]

HI Christopher,

I'm looking for something off the shelf.

Although this isn't going to be inspected, I want it neat and clean,  
but don't want to reinvent the wheel.

It will be totally uneconomical to have to strip out the Hub 4 and MX.

Why can't I get the PS1 without any hardware, and add what I want?

thanks,

jay
