(just realised the pics are a bit big - sorry). Found some cool stuff that is great for making custom Mtb brackets and other stuff. Sugru is a formable rubber - feels like Play-doh, but overnight hardens into rubber very much like a cold squash ball. Google it to check it out.
I was wanting to mount my Garman edge 705 in the middle of my handlebars, but I am running a very short stem, so there was nowhere to zip tie the normal mount. Yes, I can hear some folks saying "just mount it a bit to the left on the handlebar itself" – but those of us who are fussy mongrels will realise this is completely unacceptable. Below are some pics of making the bracket:
Also used it to cover the empty direct mount on the seat tube:
Hope others find this useful. Think it cost about $15 bucks for eight sachets of the stuff, and once you open the sachet the curing process starts, so you can't save unused bits. I used 2 sachets to make the Garmin mount, so the bracket cost approx $2.
Oh, also - I up am in no way affiliated with the company that makes this product, and have no financial interest in it. Just stumbled across it on the inter webs, and thought other mtbers might want to know...
