Aftermarket Portible Navigation mount to Sport Chrono Dial

I was looking to purchase an aftermarket Garmin type portible navigation. I have the sports chrono button which I think looks cool (even if it is not really useful) and think that is the perfect spot for a portible nav to sit. I tried to stick the suction cup to the sports chrono dial but it was unsuccessful because the suction cup was too big.

Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket or custom mounts which can be used for this purpose. It seems most navigations will connect to a generic size ball, but I cannot find a suction cup sized mount which is small enough to stick to the Chrono dial.

Maybe there is another way and I am not so creative. Let me know if you have any thoughts. I do not want to get rid of the dial because it looks so cool (and I get a kick of showing all my passengers how it works).

Thanks so much for your help.

You might try at a TAP Plastics store near you. I was there a little while ago and saw they had many suction cups. They might have one that would fit.
Good luck.

Thanks - I live in So Cal so no TAP's down here - but I will call them and see if they can ship me some stuff, if I can put something together I will let you all know.

Thanks for help

I just use the bean bag. It fits nicely behind the SC binnacle.

The Garmin suction mount for the 60CS is the right size, but still doesn't stick. I think the problem is that the SC face is not flat, so it will be a bit more challenging to get suction on it. Too bad!
