If you are still wanting to use the switch aswell all you need to do is turn the switch mount upside down and get some longer screws to go through both the transponder mount and switch mount. Dont have a pic at moment but can get one if required.

Here is a pic of the my MTX3 with the Sqaure graphite switch/transponder holder, works and fits well.
TSR6 - I mentioned this previously, the AMB transponders don't like graphite too much, not sure what your hit/miss signal is, but you may want to relocate your transponder away from the graphite. Just an FYI

The transponders should be mounted horizontally, no higher than 15 cm/ 6 inches with no metal or carbon fiber between the transponder and detection loop.

I've never had a problem. If you look at it, the transponder actually sits above a hole in the upper deck, and lower chassis, not much for graphite or aluminum between it and the track.

The instructions do say not to have any metal either, most of the guys here just mount it in there bumper.
I guess if you are having no issues, theres nothing to worry about

( part of the reason I'm also not to keen on hanging it off the side of the chassis, and I also didn't want to buy a mount).I usually end up following that good 'ole rule of "between the shock towers, and within the chassis structure" rule.
