Thanks for sharing ideas on mounting 183s.
Over the weekend while my home was slicked over with ice, I
found some time to play around with mounts for my Shure
WL183s.
I found that hardware cloth can make a sturdy and transparent
support tube for use in a dish. This picture shows the mics
mounted side by side on the inside of the support tube:

I was afraid that by having them so close together and without a
barrier between I would get something more like mono, but it
turned out to give a nice stereo effect:

I also worked on my tree mounted 183s setup. The mics plug
through a hole in center if a disc of half inch camping pad foam:

The discs of foam plug into a sections of plastic mesh tubing
that can be covered with fake fur and are easily attached to a
strap wrapped around a tree:
