laptop bracket , as per last post

(to continue after hitting the wrong key)...My setup also folds forward to that I may access the console(old mail box) for goodies stored there. Tonight I found that two old chair brackets could be used to strengthen the rather flimsy mail box. The unit is quite sturdy now.

Cheers,

sounds like some ozzy engenouety(dont comment on spelling lol ) has gone into your set up . On my set up , I had no problem in vision , the gear stick is easily accesable , and dont move over harsh bumps , i think I am on a winner with this set up .

Never heared the kids once over 5000 kms of travel lol . exept for I want to see this and she wont let me lol Venus Bay

most marine shop stock , them , you can also look up ram brackets on the netVenus Bay

I thought of a similar idea first , but it wasnt strong enough to hold the weight of the lap top , it also didn't alow the lap top to be used up front or in the back . If you look at the bracket properly , you can use the lap top at any angle , it has 2 ball joints , 1 either end to allow this movment , and once its clamped up , it wont move for quids , also I should add , that the black bracket that is bolted to the concole , had a reo bracket on the inside . the lenght of it is also important so that the bracket touches the floor when the concole is bolted back down .Venus Bay

I am not sure if you can see the cradle that I have made , but it is 2 mm wider than the lap top. I then fitted house door weather sheild rubber either end , so the lap top is a snug fit in the cradle . It never moved from this pozy Venus Bay

ram brackets are used in boats for lap tops or GPS units Fish finders ect .

If they can take the impact of a boat over waves , then no problems on a road Venus Bay

JV here in Melbourne, but most boat shops sell them , best to order direct of the net from , the ram sight
