    I don't think I completely understand Cravenspeed's Flexpod mounting system.

    What I'd like to do is mount a scanguage in an R53 (2005 Cooper S) is this:
    Put a scan guage up at "3 O'Clock" and then a nuvi GPS at "10 O'clock"

    Is this possible?

    Almost anything is possible just call Kellen and tell him what you would like to accomplish.

    The R53 flexpod system has two mounting points on either side of the tach, at 3:00 and 9:00. Then you attach arms or gauge pods to the mounting points and position the devices where you see fit. For example, you could mount the scangauge arm on the right side and the GPS arm on the left side, and then rotate each arm to the position you desire, such as 3:00 and 10:00, respectively. It's pretty sweet.

    I would suggest something similar to Scottinbend's setup. He used a Bracket Z. If you had a long arm on the GPS you could run it across the back of the tach to the 10 o'clock spot while leaving the ScanGauge on the included short arm.
