Home made GPS holder

Hello,

i have the mother in law at home for 2 weeks so I figured it was time I spent some time in the garage

So I killed the last 2hours doing that:



A small frame for my GPS.

Side view:



so:

I cut and wrapped 2 pieces of an old tyre tube around the bar, and wrapped some black tape around it to keep it tight.

then, I used a length of whatchamacallit (metal strip with holes... pardon my french )

I folded it for strength and added 2 horizontal pieces for rigidity.



then I wrapped a piece of inner tyre tube around the top piece as the bolts were quite close to the screen and it'll serve to reduce vibration/damage.


The GPS plastic craddle is held by cabl ties because I just have one, son I need to be able to put it back in the car
Et voila !

Nice work zOU!

This is my homemade gps-holder... well adapter actually.
I had kept a nuvi 550 and TT holder from my previous bike, but this time around I want to keep the gps where I can actually se it. But guess what! I didn't want to spend 60� extra for an adaptor from TT, so I made up my own out of 40cm alu bar. It's cheap and does the job.
