If the lack of rigidity is with the part's material I can help out there. I just loaded a fresh spool of fiberglass. Just sayin.

suprarx7nut's printer can print fiber infused Nylon which is much tougher than ABS or PETG.
I am considering to send the CAD model (M2 Variation) to suprarx7nut and he can print for people who want to buy.

Carbon fiber nylon *plus* strategically placed continuous fiberglass. Real close to aluminum strength if needed. I'm always itching to put that investment to use, so just let me know if you want to try out a run!

Looks nice! I'd pick one up but these can't be mounted to an 03'+ LX

Yes! That's spot-on perfect. My 98 LX would love that....in black.

Let me know and I'll place my order. I want to do of the dual 12v back of center console ones in tan and the AHC switch replacement/RAM ball in black as well. Assessing my rear cabin situation as well. Probably do one of the 12v/switch for the rear as well.

I'm looking for something like this as well.

I currently have a tape deck mount but it will come out on extended dirt road trips. I would just need a ball to ball arm.

Also with the scanguage II mount, is there a way to retain the garage door buttons?

Thanks, It's a nice mount but my home link buttons are right in the middle of that panel. I may just try and relocate them.

OK, i will read through the whole thread, its good stuff anyway! I will decide on a mount after I have scoped out all of your designs.
Cheers

@mongoose2231 The first page has links and images of all the different makes. Start there.

 

[mongoose2231]

Yes, saw that. Thanks Greg. I am leaning towards the Scangauge overhead with the two aux buttons.

@BenCC : I'd love to see a pic of the fog mount installed on a truck when you get around to it!
