I've been using RAM mount for a long time. I have one on the front grab bar that holds my cell and this one that holds my nexus7 that I use for mapping and torque app.

Do those silver backing plates you used to help screw in the mount come with the actual RAM mount? I know I've seen something like them around in the hardware store before but can't remember what they're actually called

Figured they were a good choice to add some strength to the back of the mount. Picked them up from a local mom and pop hardware store but it looks like Lowes and Home Depot carry them in the specialty hardware section.

No problem. I just noticed that the link to Lowes has a pack of two of those for $4.69!

The local mom and pop hardware store I bought them at sold them for 34 cents each. Sheesh.
