Default GPS mount

I designed a bracket that fits in the radio door (clip) that will sustain and hold a suction cupped electronic device (GPS, other). Does not vibrate or cause any bouncing. No need to cut or modify your dash to mount a bracket. Easily removed and stored.









Feel free to PM me or ask ????s.

Sign-board plastic and PVC glue. Total cost (<10.00)

One end of the bracket slides into the radio door slot. The extended end then holds (suction cupped) the GPS. Wires are even hidden out of the way.

Once mounted, the GPS is easily readable (no vibrations) and is out of the way for the shifter, E-brake and passenger.

Hey, to continue from the other thread...

you use a single ply of the 1/8" board? does it hold in that slot pretty tight?

just curious as to whether i should go a little bit thicker, like 3/16" or whether that's too thick. also the round section is just another piece of the same board glued on top?
