didnt remove the entire cubby out... that would be too much work.

Hey Kenchen I can't seem to privately message you so I'm going to post this here, what are the parts needed to make this holder? Can you do a quick DIY or maybe just explain it to me because I bought a Garmin and like the idea of this mod.

hey jake- yah, ive turned off PM cause i get too many newb crybabies sending me waaaa waaaa

messages when i post some joke about them.

as for the bracket you can basically use any metal strip and bend it into shape. I used a small hinge like the one modshack used (can be had at art stores) and a tapping screw.

For the ball joint i cut off the arm from the garmin suction cup holder and screwed 3-4 small tapping screws throught the bracket. i think amazon sells just the ball joint with adhesive so you might want to run a search over there.

the joint is pretty tight so you'll probably need to reinforce the adhesive with screws.

at the end i wrapped the bracket with DiNoc CF wrap. looks very clean.

GL!

Kenchan where did you get that metal piece from? I looked all over Home Depot and Lowes and couldn't find anything like that.

Try your local hobby store. They sell metal strips by balsawood.

GREAT DIY! unfortunately for me, I'm not much of a diy'er when it comes to projects like this.

modshack or kenchan, if one of you have the time could you recreate this piece for me? I'd like to have one that will hold my iPhone4s and I will gladly pay top dollar for your help. if one of you wouldn't mind helping me out shoot me a PM and I'll send some funds your way. thanks!
