Anyone proficient in CAD want to help draft up a part? I thought I could use my architectural software, but apparently it's a bit limited in it's CAD capability for small parts like this (meant for designing houses, not parts).
As you all know the center console is stingy on space for items like your phone. I'm not a fan of the dash or vent mount phone holders. I saw the little molle panel victory 4x4 makes, but It's an odd shape and requires you to use additional pouches or whatever (which is a great idea), but I figured why not make a larger panel that stands off the center console enough for a phone to drop in the slot. You could still have molle capability. Spaced at about 3/4" off the center console you could run it about 10" without interfering with the seat. Something like this:
Maybe make it out of aluminum, powdercoat black. Have a 90 degree bend front edge and bottom so your stuff doesn't slide out, maybe at a 45 along the rear edge so it's not abrupt if the seat is all the way forward for a short driver. Could make RH and LH so passenger could have one as well. Handy place to put a navigating tablet if you use one. I'd have to pull off that panel and make sure the mounting points could be there or if there is a better way to mount. Thoughts?
