Custom GPS magnetic mount
(Preview)
Custom GPS magnetic mount: I have made a lot of modifications to my car, but I have tried very hard not to drill holes everywhere. So I used some Neodymium 32 x 8mm north south pair of magnets with 25kg pull force. They are less than 25kg as the magnets are about 3 to 4mm apart through the plastic trim panel....
