Dma251 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I used a Pana-vise mount where the cigarette lighter socket used to be. The pics tell the story. I used some stainless 10/32 bolts and nyloc nuts on the backside. This is WAY better than the 3M VHB tape on the top of the dash... Here's the mount- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Panavise-6-Slimline-Pedestal-Mount-717-06SF-/181561976828?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a45efe7fc pg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pav Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Interesting...just wondering how you are going to charge your phone now that you took away the outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dma251 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 I never used that socket for anything. I bought a high-wattage USB converter that I wired up under te dash, and thats what the two USB plugs that hang out on either side of the console are for. I know back in the good 'ol days everybody smoked, but now having that whole area of my dash dedicated to a lighter and ashtray is a waste. I'm going to remove the ashtray next and put one of these in its place. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-Dual-Car-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-USB-Adapter-Charger-Digital-Voltmeter-SC-/261698282804?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cee6ee534 IT's the ideal size to fit in the ashtray spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranovation Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 There's also the book binder mobile phone holder. I use that attached to the console surround. Works really well on and off road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranovation Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 http://www.instructables.com/id/Binder-Clip-Phone-Car-Mount/ This is what I'm talking about. I opened up the metal part so it fits over the dashboard surround and I can still charge my phone with the cig lighter usb connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
