DAGU made a holder for us. It can be used as Pan / Tilt or just as Pan or Tilt:

Oh, and note that if you use it just as Pan, you can mount the sensor on the inside, so it is working from above the center of the servo horn.

I figured it out the top set of pins is for when they programed the chip during manufacturing and the bottom are for us. i also bought mine at http://81.134.141.187/epages/Store.storefront/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Store.TechSupplies/Products/SRF005

i just got my SRF'S and my sensors only have one set of holes for connections and not two will that cause a problem with installation into robots.  I dont have a camera so i modified your image.SRF005.png

anyone have any good ideas on how to attach this one to a servo? just gluing it together won't look too good imo, and it will make it hard to remove the SRF05 again :/

First I did this: http://letsmakerobots.com/node/155 (Last two pictures). It wasn't good, because it was only mounted in one of the holes.

Then soldered the pinheader on a perfboard, instead of using a connector, glued the perfboad to the servo horn. I didn't have any problems removing it, since hot-melt glue can be "broken" with a reasonably amount fo force.

I have used angle aluminum and corners of plastic, cut to length., Then drill for the 2 diagonal holes on the sensor and a couple in line holes on the other side to attach to the servo horn. Usually use a couple stand-offs with nut and bolt to attach the sensor, and a couple screws to the servo horn, it all seemes to work pretty well. Sometimes good to zip-tie the sensor wires to the horn, to prevent flexing on the sensor PCB.
