I
took the rubber tubing and cut a slice down the middle of
it - This made 2 halves of rubber which I used to pad the
mic from the metal clamps. They were sandwiched inbetween
the mic and the metal clamps. This holds the mic. The tricky
part is also putting the 4 wall hanging clips onto the rubber,
and fasten the metal clamps around them.
I mounted
a small metal bracket onto the bottom of the ABS and then
onto the mic holder base (I took the mic holder part off
the original Radio Shack mic mount using a flat head screwdriver),
using plastic washers on either side to keep tention on
the joint so the shock-mount stays put once you adjust it.
Then,
the new mic holder is attached to the ABS tube with the
rubber bands. The
result is a microphone that hangs free inside the ABS tube.
