February 27, 2008 - Time to mount the rally computer on the dash.
My original clever idea was to embed it in the dashboard, but a quick check using a handy co-driver pointed out that this would put the odometer out of reach. Not a clever idea then.
So, after a fair bit of looking and thinking and turning the computer over in my hands, I came up with what should be a fairly strong solution. I'm concerned about the mount vibrating around, causing various failures and making it hard to read. So this box is meant to be nice and solidly mounted.
First step is to prototype it using cardboard. And not just any cardboard, race cardboard! It's the box from Janel's helmet. Reduce, reuse, recycle kids!
