Thanks Arran,
I could try that too.
As I stated many times, I am not too good with anything that involves drilling, hammering, winding or such. The soldering is the exception - I am very good with it, despite my shaky hands. 
So I need to see if making a better mount is something that an inept mechanical ignoramus like myself can take care of or if it is something that is beyond my wildest imagination and is akin to making a rocket engine for a real spacecraft.
In which case it is easier for me to shell some dough provided the merchandize does exist anywhere at all and within my disposable income and can be safely concealed from my ol'lady
