    I would be very interested in buying these for the grab handle mount!

    If you're willing to do the stereo mounting bracket for a 1st gen I'd love to be a beta tester! I'm in the East Bay.

    Yep, this is exactly what I was looking for and contemplating trying to make. Fortunately you are much more talented than I am! I will buy one with two balls as soon as you have them available!

    Have you mounted an iPad? That's what I'm going to have to put there, and am interested in rigidity! I don't doubt it's strong enough though.

    As for feedback, I agree with a few of the previous guys that just the upper and lower threaded holes are necessary

    In fact I would probably get two with three balls (if the balls are separate)

    I need one of these. Currently using a bastardized and thru-bolted Pro.Fit mount in that area to stabilize a Ram arm. I'm in the South Bay for test fit...

    Traced the printout onto some cardboard and got a picture. You can see that the back seems to fit well, but it's a hair short at the top inside edge (not noticeable unless you get down low to look), and it's a bit short of the front corner (not a huge problem as long as the ball mount and arm clearance).

    I contacted my standoff supplier to see if they had any suitable male female standoffs and they do have a M6x1 male / female standoff , 52 mm long on a 13mm hex but they want $26 each :eek:. At that price I'd rather make em myself.

    I am going to have a look at Misumi also but I hate their website. They definitely will have something but who knows how many you would have to order to get the price per unit down.

    You would make a killing selling these. It doesn't look that hard to fabricate. Please put me down on a list for 2 when you end up making them!

    When you have some ready, are you going to make some sort of list so we know when we can buy? Looking forward to seeing the final product :thumbsup:
