Default That's exactly how I have mine mounted. Works great!

And you will love the 760.

Default Sorta....>

My last batch was stainless, and I am out of them until the 22nd of Sep. Last one was off to Cypress the other day..

I do have one aluminum one left (before I cleaned up the design a little) see below.

Default A bit....>>

The material is thinner and now stainless Vs aluminum, the ring area is narrower, the Tab area is reshaped and radiused better at the end......Basically just cleaned up...The original was a quicky I added to another design drawing to sorta test it out.. Seemed a hit, so was cleaned up in the second design. 3rd batch is on order, so if you're in no big hurry......Could come through before the 22nd....:-)

Default I have both the V5 and a V1 with a Nuvi mount>>>

and between the two, i like the centerboard location for the GPS....when i use the drivers vent, i get a little glare of the drivers window at night....

I do use the V5 in the TT when i have the camera mount up and going however, and i use it in the Porsche too! ;-)

all good either way...
