Here is a bracket to mount my GPS in my car, a Jeep Wrangler. The car came with a little holder for (presumably) a mobile phone or Apple-Pod on top of the dashboard. The bracket plugs in to the hole where the phone/Pod holder was. The unit is assembled with #4 x 3/4 inch flat head sheet metal screws.
Here's my FreeCAD info:
Computer is a Raspberry Pi 8GB
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) (LXDE/LXDE-pi)
Word size of OS: 64-bit

Build type: Release
Python version: 3.9.2
Qt version: 5.15.2
Coin version: 4.0.0

The GPS slides over the flange at the front.
Here's a photo of the assembled part:
This is the "Mark I" prototype in blue, to better show the assembly:
Here is the GPS mounted to the dashboard:
I'd have shown a close-up but the Web-site only lets me attach five files.

Re: GPS Bracket for Jeep Wrangler
Here are the files. There are six of them, so I collected them in a zip-file. The Web-site only let me attach five files.

Re: GPS Bracket for Jeep Wrangler
I assume there is something wrong with the "GPS Base" file, but I do not know what it might be. Here is another copy of the file, outside of the zip file..

Re: GPS Bracket for Jeep Wrangler
My file is just for ideas (dimensions are not perfectly correct).
