I got the RAM 13 inch track mount and some 1 inch balls. Fits perfect after you file a little bit off both sides. Removed the little rubber thing in the tray and traced it out on a thin piece of aluminum and fitted it in the tray. Attached the track to the aluminum piece and drilled 4, 5/16 in holes and used rubber well nuts to secure it in place. Worked out great. All for less than 80 bucks.

Yeah I'm definitely having a bit of buyer's remorse with my 67d rail having seen this. Super clean diy, great work!

Man I wish I had the means to make that aluminum base or I would go this route all day long.
I doesn't have to be aluminum it could be anything, plastic, thin plywood. a flat piece of any metal you can get at the home depot or ace hardware. The well nuts come if different lengths and sizes at most hardware stores.

Someone should try this with carbon fiber instead of aluminum I thin that would look really nice, I didn't think about it until I got this one done.

Just get it dipped or use a VINYL wrap around it?

Could you measure from the ball to the edge of the dash? I am trying to see what size arm I would need to have an iPad mount.
4-1/2 inches from the center of the ball to edge of dash and another 1/2 inch if you need to get past the radio.

on their page it says their products work with other mounts so I think it should work.
