- Its close. A couple more mm and it would work.
I disagree. It is kind of a Garmin issue because there is and has been an industry standard for mounting computers for a long time. This is why it has not been necessary to by a new aftermarket mount even…
I created a 5mm spacer and uploaded the design to Printables

that's it!
the design / project team didn't considered standards and consumer interests! And this is wrong! Even under a sustainability point of view!
I didn't want to wait for someone to fix this issue, so I devised my own. I had some JB Weld Steelstik on hand, so I put a drill bit same size as the M4 bolt through the bolt hole, aligned and taped the drill bit down, then applied some JB Weld around the drill bit to build up a 10mm spacer. After 15 minutes, I carefully removed the drill bit and let cure for another 2hrs. Using a bench grinder, I shaped the JB Weld until it was close to the 6-7mm spacer I wanted, sanded a bit, and then created the correct radius so the face lays flat and square to the faceplate. M4 20mm bolt is on the way so not painted and mounted yet, but here are some pics of my homemade solution.

Once I test mount, finish it, and take for a couple rides, I'll post up some pics of the finished piece. Took all of 20 min to make once I thought of the JB Weld (besides the curing time).
It's been out a while now, and is excellent. Here's mine...
