Found Replacement For Horrible Optical Sensor Mounting Brackets ...

I love Apex products, everything they make is truly great ... almost. The sole failure in their product chain is the mounting bracket of their optical sensors. They break EVERY TIME ... for almost everyone! I just received the perfect replacement bracket from OceanBox designs ... thick and solid.

Hey Neptune Systems ... you know I love you guys, but you need to buy 1,000 of these and sell them on your site to replace those flimsy pieces of plastic that come with your awesome sensors. Just sayin' ;-)

I make my own mounts using black eggcrate. The hole size in eggcrate is a perfect fit for the sensors I found out
