Dash Mount For Laptop

[Corrosive]

If someone was to ask me nicely, I might work-up a set of blueprints......

I could scan and E-mail
My design for holding it in place is for a 14" g4 powerbook, but it would not be hard to modify for other models.

I do notice more people have viewed those pictures than have viewed the window repair fix.

lol.... Nice to see another person with love of a mac..... Ibook 12" here

Or, if you aren't in the fab'ing mood... how 'bout a RAM Pod III mount?

Not sure if this would work for you, or what you are trying to do exactly, but I saw a camera mount at a VW show over the weekend that looked pretty simple to make and very sturdy. My biggest issue with trying to mount a camera or other device to the VX dash would be finding a really good, strong mounting point. The camera mount I saw was basically just a straight bar attached to the two rails on the passenger side head rest. While the position might not be very good for a laptop, I could see using the same type of mount with a swing arm allowing you to suspend the laptop in the passenger seat area for easy access from the driver's seat. Of course, it wouldn't work very well if you had a passenger, but it all depends on your application.

The RAM thing looks cool, but was hoping for something simple that doesn't look like a giant octopus in my car.

As for making my own from plans or whatnot, I don't know how to work with metal. Was really hoping to find a simple and compact plug and play device.
