Don't want to drill, glue, or anything like that. BUT want to mount my iPhone in the Model A,...Any suggestions or places where you bought any type of mount.???

One of the guys in our club just uses the suction cup dealiebob on the windshield.

Tom Endy had a neat idea for a GPS:

My wife has hers glued to her hand and plugged into a USB port that I fastened under the gas tank with Velcro.

I saw Tom's in his car and he was very gracious to let me take pictures so I could make one myself. It slips over the dash rail and I lined it with felt so it would not scratch the dash rail. I'm sure it could be adapted to hold a cell phone.

It's in my wife's hand.

SeaSlugs · 05-18-2016, 03:07 PM

get a cheap clip off ebay or amazon and glue a few of those rare earth maginets to it and stick it to the dash.

or yea the universal windshield suction cup mounts would work great.

I have a built in nagagator in the passenger seat. It is in charge of the cell phone and directions.

Thanks for the idea, I will perpose this as a design problem to my students and see what type of devices they can come up with. We have a 3d printer and I will print the winning idea and post photos. Unfortunately, school is almost over and this will be an early fall project.

I haven't done it yet but thought of using a RAM mount, here's there suction base

Ditto ! Also illegal in NH -- very easy to stop on roadside for cell phone use (and stay alive).

I agree, whether the law or not! Distractions kill, pay attention and keep alive! Wayne

Suction cup. iPhone has GPS navigation, speedometer, mileage tracking, and more. No need to wire in accessories

GregLast · 05-18-2016, 05:57 PM

I use a Rokform case that has a magnet in it. It's behind a piece of rubber on the case and doesn't scratch the paint. I use this magnet for the phone in the car, and I put it on gym equipment when I'm at the gym. Works like a charm.

I put mine phone in door side pockets...

Glenn C. · 05-18-2016, 07:50 PM

Hang it on the window.......oh darn, the window was open. Oh well! now we can enjoy the drive

updraught · 05-18-2016, 08:54 PM

You can ask Siri for an app to count the rust flakes in the tank that are attracted to the magnet. Hands free.

hotrodalley · 05-18-2016, 10:33 PM

I use Ram Mounts for everything. I remove one of the existing bolts on the dash rail and screw in a ram mount "ball", then I can hang a cup holder, iPhone mount, etc. without messing anything up.
