These are the specs of the holes. I modeled it after a mount I had at the time turned sideways and upright and also a mount that my friend had that had holes centered. Measurements are in mm
It looks like it will probably work as the holes are big. You'll probably have to use nuts, bolts, and washers to hold the bracket in place.
thank you for the quick response! This is exactly what I was looking for.
@chinee Any update on the best way to do Rapid charge, wireless with a Magnet and the USB? How are you mixing the USB with the Apple/Lighting charger?
Also what Charge pod did you use that has a Magnet to stick with the Wireless charger? Thanks.
Here are the final components.
Connected from the center comsole via a USB-C cable to the KMM Magnetic wireless charger. I stuck one half of an old phone mount to the back of the KMM puck with 3M adhesive. The base of the Wixgear mount is attached to the Shapeways. I also used a single screw at the top right of the base to keep this heavy-*** phone from pulling the mount base off of the shapeways. You can see a little bit of the screw peeking out at the top right of the base. The final version:
The charging is pretty fast, and combined with the battery of the 13 Pro Max, I don't even charge my phone at night anymore. The 30 minutes to work, and 30 minutes back home is more than enough time to juice up my phone. I can switch to the Apple Magsafe puck but I will have to use a USB-C extension cable since the apple cable is not long enough to reach the charging port. But I dislike the white cable of the Apple charger, it clashes with the aesthetics... that's the only reason I've not switched it out. Also using a magsafe case on my phone.
I have to be offroading at speed or in a race in the 4GS to get my phone to come off the mount. last time it came off the mount I had hucked the car into a hard left off camber merging ramp @45mph ( yes the traction light came on and the rear stepped out just a little bit), and gunned it immediately after. not typical driving at all.

Glad I was able to make something useful! Yeah I took it down for a month cause I changed the hole spacing to be AMPS compatible, and then I did a test print. It's back up now.
Been using the shape ways mount for 2 years now with a Tozo W10 MagSafe adapter and it has been ROCK SOLID. best phone mount I've ever had. Those WIX magnet mount are NO joke either.
I bought an extra radio trim piece off eBay (PN 55412-30650 if you're interested) and JB Welded a magnetic phone mount to it . I didn't want to use a CD player slot mount because the ones I've used in the past always had this annoying vertical play and didn't want to risk damaging the head unit. This seemed like a natural place because it's close to where my hand would normally sit.
[Try Rokform.com they have solid phone mounts no drilling is required
QUOTE=jmarias;7226574]Now that my new GS is all of 24 hours old, I realize that I am going to want a good cell phone mounting solution. I didn't see a thread discussing good possibilities so I thought to go ahead and start one.
Others may have differing requirements, but I am looking for.....
1. No drilling - Uses some other time of clip or attachment to the car
2. No blocking of a cup holder - we only have two up front!
3. Location which allows for reasonably unobtrusive power connection from the outlet in the center console (Note: I do say "reasonably" and am not expecting miracles)
4. Does not interfere with the car control access or impede good window/windshield visibility
Won't matter for most but I use an HTC Droid Incredible phone.
I would appreciate any thoughts, product suggestions, creative thinking, etc....
