Thanks Hammer for the idea. Better get a copyright on it!

Your more than welcome. Interesting idea about that file box. Do you have a picture of it? I've been thinking of doing that for mine for those situations (not often) but would help. I could mount it with velcro so it comes off easy enough when not needed or when I have to do something with my mount etc.
