Possibly use a swing arm type ram mount

Thanks for the info guys, I've been looking at those but haven't been able to find one with will mount to the t-lock I could be over looking it

Take 2 1/4 20 carriage head bolts. Grind head flat on 2 sides until it fits into T rail. Drill 2 holes in the mounting bracket for finder. Put bracket on bolts install lock washers and nuts. Can slide it up and down rail. Cost about 2 dollars.

Pretty go idea, think I could it a ram mount right enough doing it that way?

Use the two carriage bolts to mount a piece of thick cutting board material or thinner aluminum to the track, then mount the FF base to the cutting board/aluminum material. Ram mounts usually have a round shaped base, and would probably need a larger mounting surface than the t track would provide, so use the cutting board/metal material for stability.

Yes, like jimp said you could use either, or a piece of aluminum angle wide enough for your base. And your not limited to just 2 bolts. So strength and rigidity shouldn't be a issue. I have all kinds of stuff mounted on the T rail of my war eagle.

Thank y'all I appreciate all of the tips! Gonna have give it a try. Have you ever mounted any spider rigs to your t-rail?
