    And did you go with that middle pc that the thread suggested (the one that connects to the ball and to the holder itself) or a different one?

    For some reason that pc looks longer in your pic than mine.

    EDIT: I f'ed up. Didn't realize on Amazon that the PC defaulted to the small size, so that's the one I ordered by mistake. But ordered the medium one just now. Coming Wednesday. Yes!

    Took a couple pictures of how it is set up, and some measurements. It is a 50mm, with two nuts and a lock washer between. Pretty sure the middle piece is the medium size connector, measured 3.75 but I think they call it a 4 inch double socket connector.

    Nuno, you are kind of restricted in how it is angled- the middle piece makes some contact with the grab handle depending on how it is oriented. I found this is the best setup- for me at least.

    Thanks a lot @MikefromCT

    I think my main "issue" was that i accidentally ordered the wrong size middle pc. I think once I get the longer one it'll fit and look a lot better.

    Hey CT. I’m in Bristol and have a 09 Taco. Looking to either have someone do (or do myself) an interior LED mod to get rid of the factory orange. Anyone around CT do them? Or any advice?

    Getting a whiff of that Nova Scotia smoke now and then.
    Might be time for a Rauchbier. :cheers:

    I was just outside waiting for my kid's busses, and caught a wiff of it as well.

    Reminds me of Portugal in the summer, with all the wildfires going on and that constant smell.

    On another note, the correct size middle pc I ordered last night for the phone mount actually showed up today instead of tomorrow.

    :yes:

    To make matters worse, I've been to Bamberg several times.
    I'm like a moth heading for a light when I walk by the brewery.
    Excellent food and Rauchbier straight from the well.
