Hmmm... I've tried that a few times, but it never sticks for more than 5 minutes.

 

I bet I can help with this. We probably have some longer or even more coarse screws you can use, and we don't charge anything for stuff like that. Your CravenSpeed parts should work for as long as you drive your MINI, which is the same as saying forever right? Just PM me and we'll figure out what we can do.

 

I suction cup mount my Garmin to the speedo. Not very elegant, but it works for me.

 

A few years ago, I built a "CB" mic holder (actually for a VHF/FRS radio I've got installed in dash). It sits down near the radio, using the front facing radio mount screws (behind the oval down-tube). Maybe one of these pics will inspire a solution (just be careful to set the bracket low enough that you can still get a CD in and out of the radio).

 

First.....try using a bit of silicone on the screw to the tach. It will set up and hold good and you can still get it out w/o any problems. In fact I would guess that it would hold up just fine with the GPS on it.

Have you called CravenSpeed about this? They may have a better fix than that.

 

Perhaps also you could fill the hole w/ JB Weld, re-drill and use tapping screws (or tap it by hand).

 

You need better snot.... :biggrin5:

 

Haha.

It works for you because you aren't looking at the Speedo..........:biggrin5:

 

No I watch the tach & look out the windows...

 

Agree...who needs a speedo??

 

Wouldn't be caught dead in one...
