Plastic RAM mounts?

[bobmoss]

Has anyone here used the plastic RAM mounts?

How do they compare to the standard metal ones? Are they as strong/stable?

Thanks.

Hi Bob,

Welcome.
The plastic RAM parts I have used to attach my 276c have been faultless.
May I suggest a quick perusal of some of the threads in GPS Info there are many discussions on this subject.
Alternatively contact "RAM Man" the font of all knowledge

The plastic mounts are fine, I use mine both on and off-road holding an Etrex legend and never had any issues.

I guess its down to personal choice..

RAM (metal) or RAP (plastic) parts are offered in the UK.

For handlebar mounts, the RAM metal uses a U-bolt bracket with a zinc or stainless steel U - bolt and I suggest using this with the plastic shim (RAP-319) when attaching to a cross bar or mirror arm. If you are just attaching onto the handlebar then you can choose and have plastic with a RAP-B-149 and the only difference is the U-bolt style.

The plastic is a durable polycarbonate base and the arm is glass reinforced nylon - so its tough and will do the job.

So as I say .. its personal choice.
