What I did today!

Here's what I did today.

I built and installed my laptop mount. It is on a Flex Arm that is bolted to the mounting rail under the passenger seat. When I don't want the laptop there, I simply remove it and bend the flex arm to lay flat on the floor.

It's sturdy, completely adjustable, and is passenger friendly!

hell yea, i was always wonderin how people did that in cars. could you pm me supplys and all that? lol

 

[CajunKenny]

Thanks guys!

It will actually pull in quite a bit closer to the driver's seat than what you see in the pic.

Carter: I can take pics of the individual pieces for you. And how it's mounted.

I don't have part numbers and such... Some of the parts were custom fab'd by me so I know they're not anywhere!

The Flex Arm that I chose to use is just about maxed out by my Dell Mini 9. It won't support anything larger. So it's limited in that sense...

Pretty sweet. I need to get me a mini laptop. So much more convenient!

 

[CajunKenny]

The mini 9 is great for tuning because of it's Solid State Hard Drive.

Get one!!!

nice, It looks almost identical to one I made for my last Caddy 3 years ago. The only problem was that my "flex arm" couldn't hold the weight of my laptop long. After a few bumps in the road it would fall over. I used plexiglas (sp?) and Velcro to hold the laptop. What are you using?

 

[CajunKenny]

Each end of the flex arm has threaded studs sticking out. One end of the flex arm is mounted to a bolt at the bottom of my sparco seat via a bracket that I cut out of 1/8" Aluminum Stock.

The other end screws into a 360* Ball Mount that has been drilled and tapped accordingly.

The Ball Mount attaches to a 4x5.5" Aluminum Plate. The plate has velcro on it.

The key part to this type of setup is the arm. Without a strong one. FAIL!
