I need the diameter of the garmin ball please...

The web states its 17mm for most Garmins upto about 7 inch screen size, after that the ball goes larger. I have just measured our 7 inch Garmin with a Mitutoyo vernier and the ball mount is 17mm .

I would also be interested in one with the magnet.

More news at last.

My client can print these now. Matt black. He's made some samples and the favourite has a 17mm ball which is removeable for possible future additions like maybe a phone holder.

He's not trying to make money, he's doing it as a favour for me. They come out at £20 plus postage.

Sorry, posted now in for sale section.

I have tested during my trip through Italy different variant of cell phone holders for me. Thanks again to Roger for the 3D print file.
I often use, as written before, SP Connect which I also use on my motorcycles. This requires a special shell for the phone.



1. Suction cup with ball joints and SP Connect
Holds very stable
Can be adjusted well to the position of the driver
Looks very bulky with and without cell phone
Is very wide on the passenger side






2. Rogers mount with ball joints and SP Connect
Holds very stable
Adjusts to the driver's position, but is too close to my body/face for me
Looks bulky with or without cell phone.





3. Rogers mount with magnet
Does not hold very well, cell phone turns and flies depending on road conditions also times down. Have used a 15 kg magnet that you get off an iron plate only with tools down again.
The position can only be moved in one direction on the dashboard edge. But is optimal for me in the field of view
Looks with and without cell phone very discreet. Is almost not noticeable






4. Rogers mount only with SP Connect
Holds very stable
The position can only be moved in one direction on the dashboard edge. But is optimal for me in the field of view
Looks decent with and without cell phone. I still have to blacken the screw head.





Solution four is the most optimal just for me

I found this magnetic holder for my cell phone. Perhaps not the best solution for winter drivers, as the air vents are partially covered. However, the holder is visually unobtrusive and the display is clearly visible to the driver and passenger.

Question from a Morgan newbie: Is the clock in your vehicle also poorly lit and is the number “6” on the tachometer darker than all the others?

Kind regards
