Garmin VHF mount and knobs needed-any suggestions?

Hi,
Im moving my in dash Garmin VHF to fit a in dash sounder.
I don't have the mounting bracket or the knobs as it was dash mounted from new.
Anybody have any to sell, or suggestions as to where I can get them?
I can only seem to find them for sale in the States!
Thanks

If you Google "Garmin VHF Bail Mount", you get a few UK hits

Thanks,
top link goes to the complete garmin vhf, but adding the word bail to the search has helped no end and have found a good supplier by googling-which ended up being your second link posted which I did not click on when the first one failed!
Thanks again!

No worries.

Funnily the top link still works for me - £17.99 (minus knobs) from Garmin themselves but no bother.

I did decide that possibly you didn't know it was called a bail mount.

I'm glad you are sorted.

If you don't get what you want from the Chandler or break one while fitting, I have a couple of Garmin bail mounts (without the knobs though) of two different sizes (922s and Echomap) that you can have. With best regards, Phil.

There's no easy way of saying this but I might have some knobs that you could have, if they are the same as the chartplotter ones.

Not knobs

I suppose we could say 'Rotary knurled tightening devices' to avoid sniggers.

It might be worth calling Garmin customer services, they are legendary & might just send you some FOC. Worth a punt.

Thanks all for your help!
Ill let you about your knobs when I remove the unit-haven't been able to get onboard and delve deeper under the dash to see if the knobs are there due to the rubbish weather!
