Garmin Outfront Mount Nut

[smokeysmoo]

I took my Garmin outfront mount off today whilst fettling and I've lost the bloody nut for it

I've emailed Garmin but thought I'd ask on the off chance someone has a mount that may be damaged in some other way and so has a nut going spare.

It's only a tiny little bugger, and I could probably find one at my LBS but getting there isn't the easiest at the moment.

The mount is like this one,


Anyhoo, hoping someone can help

Will it not be a standard M4 nut or something?

If you can figure out the size, Boltbase on eBay will probably have them - I've used them before for a few things, and always had good service.

Very possibly but I don't know the size and don't have nuts to try.

If anyone knows the size and can let me know I sort it easily

Official reply from Garmin received today;

Dear Smokeysmoo,

Unfortunately we are unable to provide these parts, I would suggest purchasing a complete new set from our website using the following link - https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/114881

Kind regards,

So I've thanked Harry for his reply, told him there's no way I'd buy a new mount for the sake of a nut that will cost a few pence, oh and pointed out to him that they are a tenner cheaper anyway from CRC

After I hit send I thought perhaps I should have asked him what size the damn thing was before I engaged any sarcasm but hey ho

I'll just take it to a hardware shop/LBS when I get chance, I just don't know when that will be so it's back to the stock bar mount for the time being.

I have rummaged around and although I can't find the mother lode of nuts and bolts I have somewhere, I have found M3 and M4 sizes. You are more than welcome to them if you want to try.

The allen head on the bolt is 2.5mm, so a nut described as 2.5mm should fit.

Thread pitch could be a concern, but it looks like that's nearly always .45mm.

A word of caution, my Garmin mount doesn't appear to have a nut, rather a threaded insert which couldn't be removed without hacking at the plastic.

Yours may be different.

Just bob into a bike shop and ask for one.

I have a selection I can let you have. If you pm your address again I can drop them off on my way home as I go past your road.

Thanks Martin but I'd forgotten to update this thread, I've got it sorted now, cheers buddy
