Brodit Mount
The popularity of mobile phones has continued to grow at an alarming pace, and one of the major problems that arises with them is how to store them adequately, yet still leave them available for use, in a motor car or other moving vehicle.
The Swedish company Brodit is a market leader in providing solutions to this problem, and the Brodit mount is among the best selling versions of a mobile handset mount for vehicle use. Brodit has been in the game for more than 25 years and as such has gained a great deal of experience in designing and manufacturing mounts for mobile handsets, but their expertise does not stop there: whether you want a mount for a mobile or a GPS system, or an MP3 player or other in car entertainment device, there is a Brodit mount to fit.
In fact, many Brodit mounts are designed to fit specific models of mobile, and can even be built to fit specific models of car! This distinction is necessary as the design of car interiors differs as much as, if not more than, that of mobile phone handsets, giving manufacturers of universal mounts a problem that is difficult to overcome. Where Brodit does manufacture some universal mounts, it also produces Brodit mounts that are very specific indeed, and even claims to be able to provide a mount suitable for a new car as soon as the model goes on sale.
The sheer variety of Brodit mounts available is bewildering thanks to the need to specify, but it remains a fact that Brodit are able to adapt to the market needs thanks to their expertise and knowledge of what is required. Users want their handset – or other device – to be easily accessible but out of the way of essential instruments and controls, and a Brodit mount is designed carefully with this in mind. The variety extends to where the mount can be placed, too, for different designs of car require fitments in different places, and it is possible to buy a mount that fits on the centre console of some models rather than on the dashboard.
Whichever Brodit mount suits your needs it will be designed to be applied without damage to the interior of the car, meaning no permanent marks or holes will remain once the device has served its purpose: this is an important selling point where such items are concerned, as the speed with which the mobile phone market is changing leads to users upgrading handsets on a regular basis, and the subsequent need for a new mount.
About the Author
Brodit mounts are not the only products manufactured by the company, for a whole range of accessories concerned with keeping devices safely contained within a car are available, and many of them very clever indeed. One aspect of the Brodit Mount that enhances its usability is the manner in which the design enables the charging of the device to be carried out while it is in the mount, something some rival products do not account for.
The wheels used to mount the tires on, are they universal in fit or are they for the specific make of car?
Do all wheels mount on all axles?
Yes, they are universal, in that there is only 1 wheel bolt pattern for all top NASCAR stock car series (NNC, NBS, and NCTS).
It is what we call a "Grand National Pattern." I believe it is like a 5x5 or 5x5 1/2. If you give me a bit, I will go measure one of the old wheels we have sitting around that has a "Grand National" pattern.
Yes, they mount on all axles. there is no differnece between the front and rear.
Edit - They are a 5x5 bolt pattern, meaning they have 5 lugs, on roughly a 5" diameter circle (measured from the top of the top hole, to the bottom of the hole closest to the bottom).
