  SideWinder Horizontal BullFrog Mounting Kit


 
Have very limited space to mount a switch machine?  Using our SideWinder Horizontal BullFrog mounting kit* you can mount the BullFrog machine on its side in only 1 1/8"!

*BullFrog Switch Machine sold separately

The SideWinder mount also has the added bonus of reversing the throw of the machine so the switch points move in the same direction as the control knob. The design of the BullFrog Switch Machine is such that the points move in the opposite direction of the control knob, using the SideWinder will correct this and allow them to move in the same direction as the control knob.  This can be seen in the video below.
