Hey Patrick, the tilt bracket was right at $400 shipped from Felder. The part # was 430-117. Double check with them though cause they sell different ones for different machines. You definitely want the gas shock. I was sceptical but it is a one handed operation to tilt up and down. Just be sure all the clamps are locked down before tilting. The clamp and gravity hold it in the base.

This is fully extended. The horizontal arm is 28" long. 6-8 more would help.

Dont know why but when I loaded the second picture the first one went sideways. Sorry about the sore neck.
Take some pics and tell us what you think when you get it going. Enjoy!
