The PVC pipe is the key component of the mount. It must be cut along the long and short axis to allow for the integration with the center mount.

First, mark the 90 PVC fitting for the first cut using string. I chose to follow the preset markings on the pipe fitting.

Following marking on both sides of the pipe fitting. Use the jigsaw with an appropriate saw blade to make the cuts on both sides.
