Funny I was looking at a similar setup, not for the spit yet but for the '99 Jeep WJ ( triumph support vehicle for related content :-) ). It has an ashtray that will never get used and was figuring out how to mount the GPS unit there somehow. That leads to the next part of course, adding in usb power connectors for the gps, phone chargers :) thankfully the spit had a 85amp upgrade a while back

It had enough remaining battery power to not need using the cigarette lighter socket(which works fine so far). I used a piece of duct tape & mounted it over the unused ashtray with the door open. Sure, I could barely see & hear it due to the top being down(sun) + engine noise, but it worked. This led me to thinking: Why not take out the ashtray & make a GPS holder that slides in & use the ashtray dash hole to mount it in? I need to make a cardboard mockup first. Then once I'm satisfied, cut a piece of scrap metal 20 different ways & oragami it into form. _______________________________________________ [email protected] Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $11.47 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spitfires/[email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $11.47 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spitfires/[email protected]
