Can anyone fab something like this?

[Brody602]

Can anyone make something like this idealy for my 7' nexus tablet? Just a couple ideas, one is just a little tray with a lip coming from underneath the HVAC controls, the other is two brackets on each side, maybe with a rubber line to prevent movement? Out of plastic or fiberglass? I'd probably wrap it in carbon fiber anyways, and I don't want a permanent solution, so I'd probably stick the side brackets with 3M tape, or the tray under the HVAC controls might be able to just be tucked under?

Also wouldn't want the mounts/brackets to interfere with HVAC controls when my tablet is removed.
Thanks!

Cool idea!!

That's an awesome idea, been looking around for a mount for my tablet and haven't had anything that works really really well because it always seems to block something, at least this would be for the most part out of the way.

Yaah that was my thought as well, to have a 7" tablet in the windshield isn't a good idea, but normally you dont have to adjust your HVAC controls that often, i got my girlfriend to hold my tablet there and it's not that hard to glance down and take a look at my torque gauges, I just simply don't have the material/equipment to fab something myself, I wish i knew how to fiberglass stuff.

That's neat, very cool, now if someone can design it for me

If anyone with good AutoCAD skills or computer design skills wants to make an attempt at using the emachines drsigning program to make the part that would be awesome

I use one of these for my phone and just stick it in the vents above the radio. They make a bigger one that would probably work if you just use the pocket under the hvac controls.

Don't think it would stay there too well with some spirited driving, thanks though!

I too am looking for a car holder for my Nexus 7 tablet. Going to see if maybe I can fab something.

Any ideas are welcome!

Not sure if you took a look at the link that was posted but that website lets you design parts with their program and then you buy them.. You could give it a try if you're any good with computers

Thanks but its tough to design a functional and well fitting part without a prototype. Maybe that's the answer, build a proto then transfer dimensions to CAD.

Yeah, I'd try and do one my self, buy I'm extremely busy at the moment.. If you an that would be awesome

I have a lot of experience designing sheet metal parts for production. If you are interested in something, let me know and I can do it. I am not free however since my time is limited. I use ProE for sheet metal CAD work.

I can also have a prototype made locally***
