I have never seen one of these before but it looks interesting.

While working as a machinist during college, I made a bunch of these offset wafers from 1.5" and 2" aluminum rod. Folks were just beginning to transition from hardwood beam mounts to various radial mounts (ala: Dave Brown style). Because the faces of the wafer were not parallel, they could be rotated before drilling to give the desired amount of right and down thrust. It made for a solid mate between the mount and firewall and eliminated using washers behind the mount.

Little did I know I was "ahead of my time"!! Very Happy
