On the plus side I have just received an e-mail notification of a new post on the D2BC Forum which hasn't happened for about 2 years.

I have the 6220/6230 cradle from my old Mercedes E-Class but I suspect every car manufacturer had their own design and it won't be any help.

For which Nokia phone?

Whereabouts in the country are you Tony?

I have used gaffer tape to seal the outside of the sunroofs but it won't last forever so a friend has said that once it gets a bit hotter he will replace it with bituminous tape.

This sort of nonsense?

What @Jayridium is proposing is actual black stainless steel nuts, not the plastic covers.

Brilliant. That sounds much more likely to work than @Stanleysteamer 's idea. Even less chance of dropping the nut. 👍 🤣

Clever. Not sure whether to go with your suggestion or @Jayridium 's.

@Jayridium I like that idea and hopefully it will satisfy @Stanleysteamer 's aesthetic values. :)

I did consider putting them the other way up but decided against it for several reasons. Firstly I wasn't entirely sure how much space there was between the bottom of the plate and the top of the radio and using pan head screws from the bottom seemed the safest solution. It also means that if...

It appears it was an unfortunate choice of photograph. That's not where the tablet would be positioned when green-laning, which is the only time it is used - it would be much lower, overlapping the radio. It does stick up a bit above the dashboard but not enough to obstruct my vision, and when...

Just to wrap this up, I finally got around to fitting this mount. I did pretty much what I said above. A steel plate underneath to spread the load, 4 pan head screws and washers from below and nuts and washes above. No significance to the different length screws - they were what was in the...

Thanks James, that's really helpful.

Thanks for that. Out of interest what length antenna do you use and what sort of range do you get? What mount do you use?

You can get mounts which require different size holes. If I can get one that matches the existing hole it saves a job.

Can anyone tell me the size of the hole that is used to mount the GPS antenna on the roof at the back? I searched the forum and someone has asked this question before in 2019 but never got an answer. I'm thinking of using the same hole to mount the antenna for the CB radio.

I'm sure you will be able to find the part numbers you require here: https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/parts/index/hierarchy/id/14.55790.56211/brand/land-rover/

No problem. Enjoy your new car. How about some photos?

That's what mine do.
