Made a mount for the rally computer today. With the pushed back co-drivers seat, it needed to be about 12" or so in front of the dash. I have seen some pretty scetch stuff, like 1.5" dom tube pointed directly at the co-drivers chest.... Anyway, I wanted to make an adjustable mount, that attached to the tunnel. After sitting in the car today with the mock up, I just could not get the angles to not have something close to her legs, so I totaly changed the design. This one will be bolted to a tab that is on the A pillar support bar, just below the dash, and come across the dash. Fully adjustable up/down/in out, and the computer is on a ball socket so it can be angled any way she wants. Also, the shaft telescopes....

You know I was sitting on the deck just the other day wishing I had an odo ...
Looks nice. I'd put a washer or xbar on the cinch bolt for ease of tightening. Great adjustability. |

The car has been at the body shop for 3 weeks so it has been tough to get to work on it. Took it over there because they were slow, then the flood gates opened...... I have been going there after work till 11:00 PM or so 3 nights a week, and sometimes a weekend day if they are there. Finished the last couple small pressing fab things, and samded on stuff till my fingers bled. Got some booth time today and shot the interior, engine bay, all the jams, insides of the doors and hatch. If they finish up the body work this week, I can shoot the color next weekend.
