Here's a prototype I just threw together made out of all aluminum. I can make this with minimal welding.

The only thing that bugs me is the mounting in the existing screws. Unless I weld tabs on it will sit at a slight angle. (the arm, not the mount on top)

What do you guys think?

I think you are right about the screws. This is what I told him too. Looks like the weak link in the chain and I can't see a way of beefing it up like we did with the RBIS

No, I think it's strong enough. It's just that the bracket doesn't follow the lines of the dash. If there were tabs welded onto the arm you could make it run along the lines of the dash.

Doesn't look like there's much interest though.

The two holes on top will easily support two or three devices if you use an extruded u-nut under the dash to reinforce the plastic mounts (link). And you can make the dash mount for less than $20 with tools you've already got on hand -- no welding needed.
