I decided to see if I could make one after I saw how simple they where made.
In my research I learned a few things that where problems with LapTop mounts when used off road so I needed to make sure this was addressed as I made mine and I had about a $50 buget to get it done.

1. The first thing I made was a simple Base plate and formed it to the floor then mounted it with 3/8" nuts & Bolts. pic#1
2. welded a peice of 3/4" X .120 wall 4" long cut at 60 degree angle (guestamation) to base plate.Pic#2
3. Took a peice of 1" .120 wall tubing (3/4" tube slips into this) and at one end I used a cutting wheel to split a slit about 1-1/2" long that would be used to clamp the 3/4" tubing. Pic#3
