I don't have my camera on me, but I can take a picture of the finished product when I get home.

The mount feels very sturdy once it is in place. The face of the mount is where you would screw in any device (swivel) mounts or attachments. (care should be taken with any screw in the bottom portion of the mount face as if it is too long it could go into the dash itself).

I can't see wanting to go through the procedure of putting the actual Kuda mount on and off, but I don't see why you couldn't get creative with the attachment that screws into the Kuda mount.
Wow. That was pretty much the most epic mount install ever. If it wasn't for you, I never would have figured all that out. Even with your help, it was almost undoable. Those were the worst instructions EVAR!

Unixgal, just want to let you know your guide is still giving back! This was the quickest, easiest dash related install I've ever done thanks to your details and pics. Took me 10 minutes to get the Kuda installed. Thanks again!
