Very cool build.

Just was not feeling the old center console thing I think less is more in my case. What do you think of this version? It consists of an aluminum trans tunnel over the electronics for a cleaner look. Then mount the push button control and the arm east on top of that neat and clean!

How about if you got some thin wall aluminum tube and made the shape you wanted and tigged the aluminum sheet to it? It might take some of the boxy shape you talked about away from the design ??

Well I figued out that the radius of the top is 6.5" so if roll the inside to that radius then bend the sides it might work got to see if the duct work shop can help be out!

Just Picked up the formed aluminum it turned out great. My dog Bruno is giving it a once over. Let's fit it up and see.





Looks like it is a good fit we will see.

Well here is what I have come up with so far to mount the iPad. I did not want the cascading center console with a big rectangular hole in it, so I mounted this to the lower knee knocker bar still working out the actual mounting details. I ordered a few tech mount pieces and a case.





Here is what I want the mount to represent.( cutouts idea)

I need to find someone to cut the inside out for me.
