The little square mtm foam cannon mounting plate looks to be amazing build quality.

Unfortunately it is $80 US…..

I'm assuming this is the one you are reffering to................





It's made from thick stainless steel and does command a price premium, $75.95 AUD.

But looking at the MTM website, I see its priced at $34.99 for the US market -
Veloci Ventuno Bracket - MTM Hydro

It's main difference is the integrated wall mounting bracket.




Maxshine make a painted steel version that is much thinner and lacks the wall mounting aspect.

No that one is $35 US. I’m talking about the one from perfect detail.

Ahh, sorry.

In that case, you are paying for the Mosmatic quick connect, which are much more expensive than MTM or unbranded versions. Then the labor and other materials.

The second option I sent you, this is the video that goes with it, skip to 3.30min -

Where did you find the plates?

This guy.

I hadn’t seen that imjoshv video DFB posted until right before I was going to bed; from the looks of the video preview he found a basic plumbing piece that I bet is even cheaper.

That aluminum one above could be good though because you could polish it if you wanted to. Also, with the ports on multiple sides you could either wall mount it (use the fitting that’s on top in the picture above) or mount it to the underside of the top of a cart (using the fitting that’s on the left side of the picture above).

I primarily use Hansen couplers/plugs. Commercial stuff

On the wall plate, which does look -neat-, how is ease of removing if after the coupler has attached the plug to it just due to angle of approach ?

50% I struggle with removing the dang device off the PW hose, as the collar/balls open the couple just engage. Maybe I need to run a small bead of lube to balls - sticky balls, now that I am typing this

I'm going to go hunt at West Marine for a SS plate. I'm guessing that's the best place to find the one like Perfect Detail.

It's easier than you would expect. Because the plug is in a fixed position, you just push the plug towards the wall and lift away from the wall. I thought it might be cumbersome but ended up being very ergonomic.

Hi DFB,
Excuse me if I missed a post. I was hoping to get the thread size on the 1/4 inch coupler port?

With the exception of the VC Mustang, all mowers in the lineup are expected to make me some money along the way.



What a lovely mower. I've never really liked the saying "they don't make them like they used to", mainly because I'm a big lover of the new or latest and greatest, but that saying is true here. I would say this thing performs as well, if not better than some of the newer machines in my collection.

The deck design and huge rear chute mean cutting and catching is brilliantly efficient, and the engine has so much torque that it just pulls through with minimal intrusion from the governor. While it doesn't smoke, like all older Briggs, you can smell the oil in the exhaust. I also love how light it is, perfect for winter mowing.

I'm assuming you mean the threads on a male 1/4 plug, which is typically found fitted to nozzles, wands and foam cannons to connect onto a 1/4 gun outlet?
