Custom tablet mount installed!

[tikicult]

I built this over the weekend so I could mount my Nexus 7 tablet in my truck during TRR. It is made from aluminum and bolts right to the existing screw holes. The total cost was about $25. Now I can have my GPS up and control my GoPro from in the cab. I just need to paint the screws because they are reflecting in the windshield and are distracting.

I like it, nice and simple.
And you can still see your factory display.
Good job!

Looks good, how's the tablet mounted to the metal frame?

I attached this mount to the frame with screws: Amazon.com: Poetic ELEMENT Case for the Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet by Asus Black(3 Year Manufacturer Warranty From Poetic): Computers & Accessories

The screws are set into the plastic and covered with tape so they don't damage the back of the tablet.

DEFINITELY INTERESTED! How did you make the brackets?

I used aluminum plate that I cut and bent into the correct angles. It only took about an hour or so.

I ended up painting the screws because they were causing a distracting reflection in the windshield.
