Default Avier/Vertica Sports V2 Question

Anyone done a mount application for the Avier/Vertica Sports V2 in a
Libelle?
If you have would, please forward pictures?
I'm thinking either a flexible rod mounted to the instrument panel or
using the seat adjustment rail as the source for mounting a rig.
Any input/photos would be appreciated.

I mounted a smaller PNA (Binatone B.350) on my Libelle's panel by
attaching the clip mount that came with it to a standard RAM flexible
mount. This ended in a flat-faced diamond shaped piece of plastic.

It was easy to make an adapter from a stack of 1.5mm epoxy-glass plate
[1]. The bottom plate matches the RAM mount's end fitting screw holes and
the top plate has holes to match those in the clip mount. Put one or two
smaller plates between the two end plates as spacers so the bottom plate
screws don't foul the top plate and vice versa. IIRC I used two spacer
plates.

[1] available from most good hobby shops and easily glued together with 5
minute epoxy from the same source.
