Default Has anyone made a laptop mount?

I saw a pic of one a long time ago. It was mounted just to the right of the shifter. Any ideas on how to fabricate one? I don't like glancing at the cpu in the passanger seat while I'm driving.

I've been told that one may have come with the B4C police package. I can't confirm that, but maybe someone else can. I'd be interested in one as well.

Give Brett at BMR a call. I know he told me he made a mount for someone a few months ago.

Sweet pic. I found some online here www.southwestpublicsafety.com/prognewcomst.html That's the one I like best, but there are others on that site.

Laptop mount instrutions

The link above will take you to the instructions with photos and material list. Cost between 20 to 30 if that much.

2000 Camaro SS, did you email me about posting those instructs on my site? If so, shoot me another one.

I use the jotto desk in my work truck.

You have to get the desk mount for it too. Defintely not a cheap option but it does a great job but who cares how much it cost because I didn't buy it. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> This piece is VERY ADJUSTABLE and puts the notebook computer right where you want. I have never tried to mount it in my Camaro though.

Gee guys, I just use a bungee cord to tie it down to the seat. I guess I could use a ratchet tie down though <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

I stick in my passenger seat and belt it in with the seatbelt. It works great!
