1200 Pikes Peak Garmin 395lm To Garmin 396 Lmts Install Problem

  1. I was looking at the Garmin 396 and they changed the backing plate orientation for the 395LM to the 396 lmts.

    395 is vertical, 396 is horizontal. It's the same back unit just turned sideways, Anybody got any thoughts of fitting ideas.

  2. The four bolts, from memory of mine are square. Equi distant. Therefore rotate the backplate 90°. Although sods law says they will not quite be equi distant.
     
  3. That’s what I thought but they are not a simple swap around. Crazy hey. I have tried to take them off and turn them. Would be such and easy fix.
     
  4. My backplate is held on to a square plate with a ramball like this. Could you adapt it to similar?

  5. You could in theory. Cut the ball off the back and sand down. ( or leave it as it will be hidden.) then drill 2 holes on the horizontal sides, the long sides so it fits the metal mount that is attached to the bike
