The GPS mount I made

[Hocrest]

Melis got a Magellan the other week. We weren't happy with the suction cup mount, so I decided to try something else.



I took the center vent out and used some fiberglass and bits of plastic to make this.



I plan to put a cigarette lighter socket behind the panel, the power chord will then come out through the slot on the right side. I need to make another one, since the clips were busted on this one, and now with the additional weight and the lack of a vent to hold onto, it slips a little bit.

Hey! Thats cool. Now you need a spare vent to stick in there when your not using that!

You know... Looking at the picture, I think the next version may move over to the smaller vent under the clock? That way, the Main vent is still there and can be aimed to either side.

It may make it harder for the passenger to see the display though? hmmm, I'll have to play around...

What did you use for the back btw?

[Hocrest]

I cut apart a plastic bracket I had laying around for the teeth and then layed down some cloth and fiberglass batting and poured resin into the "vent". I then used spray cans to do the "stippiling" effect.

Interesting, had it been me doing it, I would have messed things up bigtime

If you do change it to the other vent, is there enough room there for the unit to sit without going over the clock?
