1./ cut off sucker thingie.
2./ drill 2 holes in large bulldog clip ( the type with fold back arms)
3./ with strip of metal/plastic whatever bolt arm (of satnav) to buldog clip.
4./ fix buldog clip to mantelpiece above the clocks.
simples .......(meekcat squeek)

I'm not a fan of satnavs but if I was, this is how I'd do it.

That reminds me.......must dust the mantlepiece before the next spin out.

Yup, this is what i did, but just added some velcro to the bottom jaw of the bulldog clip and the underside of the plastic tray to stop it sliding around and a small block of wood (sprayed black) between the plastic and the dash to stop the flex from the weight of the satnav

Can you post pics? I'm trying to get my very small mind round what goes where but can't.

Sure if you don't mind waiting until after the weekend as i don't have the bike with me? I could do a sketch in the meantime

I've done a rough sketch to show the sort of thing until i can get around doing the pics, hope it explains things better??

That's more than a little bit impressive for a sketch!!

He's not a felt tip fairy is he?

Looks like the work of a product designer to me......

Sorry for poor quality pictures, it's just to give you an idea. It works (well tested). You need a good quality holder (stiff, not prone to vibrations - ideally not the bendy type as shown). Yes, I am a zip-tie fan.

Fantastic. I will give that a go.
