I couldn't stand having that big connector flopping around down there. 20 mins in CAD fixed that.

I like the bracket. Some folks take advantage of the cable length provided and snake the cable and jack all the way to the back of rod (behind the armrest) and plug their headphones back there. Works well if you want to keep the non-waterproof end of the connector as far away from the water as possible. It looks like your bracket could be used in that situation also.

Sure beats my cable ties...put my name on the waiting list. I'd vote for one behind the arm cuff.
Nice innovative accessory.

Wow, thanks everyone for the nice comments. While I can make these available for sale, there are 2 issues. 1 being cost, I use an online print house that uses very expensive SLS(selective laser sintering) machine. Awesome for holding numbers, they routinely have my parts -.002"/+.008"
But you are going to pay for it..those 2 parts were $20.22-plus shipping.
The number 2 thing is that i would have to remodel it somewhat. Right now it's set up to be tapped, not everyone has access to whats needed for that. So I would have to make it a thru hole for a machine screw and an acorn nut. But before I can do that I'll have to go to home-depot and choose some stock fasteners to model around. That way I can give people the SKU number for the fasteners.
So as you can see cost is a huge hangup. I could go nuts and reduce thickness, skeletonize the solid sections, but I prefer to have things that are sturdy. The remodel isn't a big deal, but it will take a bit.
