    17mm Balls!!!

    Ha ha thought that would get your attention.
    Seriously does anyone know where I can get 17mm Plastic/Nylon Balls from? I had 2 from a guy on ebay a couple of years ago but he doesnt do them anymore.

    Have you guessed why? I want to make up a couple of extra mounts for my Garmin Nuvi for the bikes. Ideally the balls should have a 6mm thread drilld in them. Ideal for handlebar mounting.

    Cheers

    Angelo
