RAM Mounts

[Steevo]

Where is the best place to buy?

Not bought one for a couple of years but can't find a good stockist online. Looking for something to mount a Delta 34i onto tractor cab frame (self tap cab frame I think) is all I can do.

I got some from Spaldings a few months ago.

Thank you. I'd searched that site before but couldn't find what I wanted.

Another search again found I think what I want under Universal Mounts, and then click RAM-A, RAM-B etc. from side menu.

Am I best to go for the "standard" RAM or the RAM B version please?

Amazon.co.uk have quite a selection. Not sure how they compare in price with others.

If you buy a 2 hole diamond shaped mount they attach straight onto the back of the delta using a couple of m8 bolts, i will try to remember to take a pic of mine tomorrow and post it for you to see.

Ram mounts are sized on their weight carrying capability on a static load. I use them to mount a small hand held tablet to my quad bike for survey work, because it is no longer a static load I needed a d size ran mount when the static load rating would have allowed a ram b. Just something to be wary of

Thank you. The Delta is mounted with the Chafer switch box underneath too, all on a large frame. Will try and get a pic soon. Pity the Case 5150 doesn't have any simple places to mount around the RH cab door without drilling the frame.

Anything on the rear pillar you could mount a bar from then have a pillar down to the floor, bolting to the cab floor? You really shouldn't drill a cab pillar. What about the door frame from the latch?

You can get them to clamp onto tubing on door frame

That's why I like the MF - the round bar mount up the side of the door is great for mounting RAMs on. Unfortunately a rectangle bar at door latch level isn't so clever.

Purchased most from Spaldings - they were cheapest. Had to buy a couple of specialist bits from ram-mount.co.uk.

Thanks for the help

Depending on the age of your 5150 there might be tapped holes behind the plastic trim on the B pillar, you just have to drill holes in the plastic to get to them. Worth taking the trim off to have a look before drilling anywhere else.

Thanks. Any idea how the trim comes off please?

Sorry, I can't remember. I'd guess that it clips on.

Screwdriver job then!

Don't suppose anyone knows a RAM mount base that would fit a KV Focus II box?

There's a plate on the back that is 75mm square, with holes at 60mm centres. Failing that, this base then has a bolt with wingnut attached which could be used to attach a mount.
