6061-T6 Threaded 2" MyGoFlight / RAM Adaptor for RV8

These concentric rings suit the Vans RV-8, mounted through the 2" lightening hole in either steel windshield bow gusset (left, right or both sides of the cockpit).  They allow an iPad or camera (such as a GoPro) mount to be attached with an AMPS pattern such as the MyGoFlight (MGF) quick-release dovetail base (Part MNT-1746) or RAM 1" ball mount (Part RAM-B-347U). Together they form a strong, vibration-free, and convenient installation for both the MGF long or short 'flex-arm' or a RAM solution, a practical alternative to leg-mounts that typically interfere with the controls or panel mount that hides the instruments. This method also dramatically cuts down vibration to make small iPad text much easier to read in flight.

The aluminum kit comes complete with four M4 x 16mm stainless screws. MyGoFlight products are not included, but are available from the OEM in the US.

Notes: Evident in the photos and described in the included fitting instructions, the four mounting holes slightly overlap the edge of the 2" 4130 steel lightening hole, which requires some metal removal aligned with each hole using a small round file, followed by de-burring. This won't materially effect the structural integrity of the windshield bow (in normal or rollover situations), but does positively prevent the iPad mount from rotating in flight should the mount be installed loose.
