Blue Contrails Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I need to get a dash mounting bracket for a 76C. Does anyone know if this mount can screw onto a Pro-Fit mount like this? Quote Link to comment
+TheHFamily Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I need to get a dash mounting bracket for a 76C. Does anyone know if thismount can screw onto a Pro-Fit mount like this? Is that garmin mount the same as the one that comes in the automotive kit? If so, then I would be a bit worried about screwing anything through it because mine looks a bit thin where you would want to connect it. At the very least, I would drill pilot holes.

+Olar Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 You would have to find the screw-hole dimensions of each in order to compare. The Garmin mount base that I have has 4 holes in a rectangular configuration. 1-3/16" x 2-1/16" with 2-3/8" diagonal. (measured by eye with tape measure so consider approximate but close). My Ram Mount diamond ball-mount looks like 1-15/16" but you can access their drawings here. Let us know if you get an answer B-C. That Pro-Fit mount looks interesting and my vehicle is listed as compatible. Cheers, Olar Quote Link to comment
+Texan78 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 That is a nice little kit. Might i suggest looking at the RAM Mounts. The have a wide selection for just about every application. These kits were suggested to me as well and its a nice kit. You can find it Here Quote Link to comment
+ShowStop Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 The Garmin 76 auto mount isn't designed to be screwed onto a mount. It was intended to be stuck on with adhesive tape. You might be able to drill one hole through the mount, but that would be it since anything else would interfere with the function of the mount. However, I see no reason why the Garmin mount wouldn't stick to that mount in the traditional mounting fashion. If you are interested, I have that exact Garmin mount for sale. Give me a shout if you are intested. Quote Link to comment
+CoasterManiacs Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I used a similar configuration for my GPS Map 60C I started with a ProClip mount http://www.proclipusa.com/dashboardmounts/852570.aspx And mounted a RAM GPS 60C Cradle http://www.gpscity.com/gps/brados/0171.1.1...5541/ramholga12 Both the Pro-Clip and RAM mounts use the "AMPS" hole spacing standard, so everything lined up perfectly - just had to attach the cradle to the mount using a couple bolts and nuts, and I was on my way. I'd check with the company that manufactures the mount if they use the AMPS standard, and if so, order a RAM cradle from GPS City to mount to it, and you'll be good to go. Quote Link to comment
+CoasterManiacs Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Looking at the pictures on the site, as well as the support information, it looks like they use the AMPS standard as well. If you attach a RAM Cradle to it you should not need to drill any holes Quote Link to comment
