    What is the pitch of the bolt? My m6 x 50mm is a 1.00 pitch. It's not driving in

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    The fit is a little weird without washers and such to raise the ball but mine does fine. I did have to get a longer bolt at the Homer Despot, but couldn't find the size I wanted so I settled. I've not looked back once since doing that mod. It makes every single other cell phone holder feel ridiculous by comparison. No navigation unit I've EVER used is so stable and convenient. I've mobbed hard through the desert and not even had it shift position on me.

    Finally scraped everything together for this...thanks OP, worked like a charm...

    IMG_5698.jpg

    Found this fairly quickly at Home Depot, it's the Hex (Allen) type bolt (55mm works for me). Also found the 1/2" Nylon spacer in the same drawers at HD. Manage to route a 6' lightning cable from the stereo, inside the dash, and up the pillar to protrude along with the mount.

    Did mine today, M6-55mm was the perfect fit with two nuts and two washers. Used the short arm to keep it all close to the a-pillar.
