99% of the people have a rider or they just throw it on the floor/seat.

mounting a laptop in your car would just ask for your window to be broken

Well it seems your seat is a bit more level.. my seat slopes back a lot and its a pain in the ass to have the laptop sittign on the seat. im lookinh to mount the laptop as well.. BUt dude lookingto get the window broke... why would you be dumb enough to leave the laptop in there when you leave the car?

Re: how did you mount your laptop in your car
 
I just made a little mount that I can clip in and easily remove. I will definitely be pulling out my laptop when I leave the car, but it's mounted nice so me and the passenger can watch movies on long trips and ----. Eventually I'm gettin a cd player that I can connect it to and have the sound come through the car, that'll be kinda cool. I'll post pics in a couple hours if i can.

Here's what I did the other day:

Attachment 36082
floor mount bolted in

Attachment 36083
these clips make it easy to get in and out, but it stays nicely if you match the holes right

Attachment 36084

Attachment 36085
plenty of clearance for the passenger, i also welded some of the flat metal perpundicular to add extra support as it was kinda flimsy at the start

Attachment 36086
sittin in my driveway checkin out HMT, what what O0

Re: how did you mount your laptop in your car
 
you should hide the mounts under the carpet, and just have the part where the pins go in, stick out.

You are the man... Thanks for the picts.. does it wobble at all under acceleration? also what is that? 1/8" algle iron you used?

fourthgenhatch 03-02-2006 01:58 PM

Re: how did you mount your laptop in your car
 
yeah i believe its 1/8 angle, it wobbles just a little, but under acceleration, you shouldn't be looking at your screen so it's not a big deal. it just depends on how well you make it, you'll be able to find ways to make it better

bumblezc 03-02-2006 02:20 PM

Re: how did you mount your laptop in your car
 
Made mine with a flat platform of aluminum with a bent edge on it, a strap acroos to hold the laptop down, the a 1" square tube to the floor, 90deg turn under the seat where the 1"Sq slides into a 1.25 square tube. I'll post pic if I ever get to it. Nice part is it slide in and out of the car in about 2 sec. and when it's not there you see no mounting bracket or anything.

fourthgenhatch 03-02-2006 02:39 PM

Re: how did you mount your laptop in your car
 
dang bumble thats a much better idea, i might have to change my mounting, but i bet that's solid. i'd like to see some pics if you get a chance
