GPS Handlebar Rack

This is an excellent alternative to pricey brand name racks. I don't have some of the original stuff that I recycled to make the item, so I'll do my best. (I've only just discoverd Instructables, my projects are all old, and go as far back as 2000.)
My 'dashboard' includes (From Left to right) GPS, speed/ odometer, and bell (required by law)

Step 1 View of the rack and Ingredients

I recycled the Fastex quick release buckle and bracket from an old Blackburn seatbag; the zipper had blown, so after a lot of thought, I dissected it.
From it I kept the quick release buckle and the square of plastic it was rivetted to. I hope these pictures help.
Ingredients:
Quick release buckle (Maybe sold as a unit somewhere...)
Sharp scissors
inner tube shims
hose clamps
allen key set
small nuts and bolts
plastic tray.

An interesting project, but I honestly don't think I'd trust any of my $150-$300 GPS units in that tray. I'd be very concerned about it bouncing out. For such an expensive piece of hardware, I think it would be worth paying for a mounting bracket designed for the unit. Now, to attach a properly designed mounting bracket meant for say, a car, then the buckle idea is pretty cool.

I'd be a bit worried about the strength of the clamps, but I guess you can attach a piece of string of sorts to catch the thing if it breaks.
