I have two Amati Keel Klampers.
They are very good.
However, many times any modeler needs to have the keel of the ship model aligned at thwartships*.
* = At right angles to the fore and aft center lines.
So, I fastened a cross test level to the beam of the keel clamper.
The cross test level was simply secured to the beam with two screws.
Since it was in a fixed location, that did create a problem. The problem was that the keel clamper has two moveable clamps to
accomodate any size /length keel within it's capacity.
So, there could be an iterference at times.
This problem was solved by developing and fabricating a moveable and removeable
mount for the cross test level . This allows the cross test level to be placed in any position along the beam,
and locked with a thumb screw.
Hence the title ( improved).
Works like a charm !
