RAM Brake/Clutch Mount 1" Ball

I had issues with installing this. To get it to fit you needed to leave the existing clamp in place to use it as a spacer. However, if you try to torque it to 9 ft-lb (as per the Forza manual), you will destroy the plastic spacers included with the RAM Mount. Instead, I purchased 2 stainless steel bolts: 6mm X 1 X 40mm, used the split washers included with the RAM Mount, and tightened them evenly; torqueing to 9 ft-lb. The RAM mount itself is aluminum and can safely be torqued that amount.

Done this way, neither the RAM spacers nor the original Honda clamp are used and the ball is positioned more forward.

Nice.

Be sure to let us know how you end up routing power to whatever you're going to put on those mounts.
