Rich, you are the best. I might take you on your offer if my mounts don't come on time.
I shall take a few pic so you can see if I am being just a bit scared of this basket, or it's really too big for my VX.
I had a tough time to understand, what you mean by "using the brackets sideways", but I think I know now. The thing is, it's only one side that would be off... see pics.
One question though. Do you know part number for vertical mighty mounts? I have this feeling, I might have to buy a set...
EDIT:
I got pics in my galery, cuz I just simply got beaten by the system...
