Mounting on top of dash... questions

[AMassaro]

I made up a small bracket attached to my Diablo/Predator programmer. I want to screw it down to the top of the dash pad to the right of the steering wheel. Any ideas/suggestions as what type of scew/bolt to use? I don't want this thing to rip out after a few months of feeling the mighty Cummins vibrations...

Any and all are appreciated...

That plastic up there is very thin, and I don't think it would take much to rip out any fasteners that you put in it. Perhaps velcro would be a better option?

I don't mind using velcro, I just don't know if it'd be up to the task. The predator is a larger programmer... But the screen size is huge compared to most others... and the real time data is awesome, so I want to be able to watch the LCD screen at that "eye level"...

Another option I thought of would be to use an industrial epoxy glue/cement on the dash, mounting a base to that... probably a nice piece of aluminum tapped for some 1/4-20 hex head bolts, or something like that. This way the mount is sturdy and I could remove the Diablo when needed...

What do you think?

Velcro

You can get 2 large pieces with adhesive on one side, 1 male 1 female. Attach pieces where you want and it will not come off. If you don't like it, remove and clean area with isopropyl rubbing alcohol.

Have you looked into the pillar pin?

Not sure how big this deal is that you are trying to mount but it might work. Unless of course you have gauges there.
