<\/a>Metal Plates for the iPod Holder
(Click for more…)<\/center><\/p>\n

Well, if you compare today’s test fitting<\/a> to the Jenga-like one from earlier in the week<\/a> it’s pretty obvious that this new solution with the aluminum plates are a great deal better. Sunday or Monday I’ll finish it up by trimming the dark gray stem from the black TuneDok<\/a>, taking it all apart, and painting the plates, spacers, and bolt headers. Hopefully that’ll go well, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Metal Plates for the iPod Holder(Click for more…) Well, I’m getting rather excited about the iPod mount \/ adapter which I am fitting into my car. did me a huge favor and had some metal parts made up for me.
