Have to figure out the mounting situation for the launcher to be removable.The release lever is real chincey,should have grips like a pistol. I think I want to mount the lever on the floor.Does it matter where it's mounted as long as I can reach it?? Seems that most of the pictures I see the lever is overhead HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

The lever is mounted where the driver can pretty much swipe it with his hand without having to look for it and the whole affair is kept up tight to the ceiling so the guy's not bashing his head against it. We use Morse cables and proper mounting hardware. Not the cheap stuff that comes with the kits. If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
