I finally received my iPad mount from Ram Mounts. It is a good quality and strong mount.
I used a sheet of aluminum and formed it around the tunnel to use as a temporary bracket and to mount the iPad. Once flight testing t is complete, I will most likely remove the extra aluminum bracket and attach the mount with thru bolts to the tunnel cover.
I have pointed the iPad's charging port up under the panel; so that I can get a 12V charger and connect it behind the panel to charge continuously during flights.
Flight test, this weekend.

I tried my new RAM mounts today as well, but mine are hanging from the bracket over the glare shield. I like my position, but it does cover up my view of GRT EIS display.
Sorry, no picture to post yet, but will do so later.
Rob's is nice, but I have another row of knobs below the throttle area, plus I have a fire extinguisher mounted on top of the tunnel fwd of Rob's mount plus a spring loaded access port in the top of the tunnel where I can quickly and easily gut in a flex hose from the extinguisher inside of the tunnel to discharge if needed.

Attached are 3 pictures of my iPad mount. I used a 6 inch Ram arm
with 1.5 inch balls. Mount is Ram as well.
Have flown with it in this position once and really like it using
SkyCharts Pro.
Wish I had the GPS version now!!!
The arm is quickly installed & removed using the big knob which allows
it all to come down from the upper mounting ball.
It does block my view of the GRT EIS though, but did not bother my
pilot passenger.
I did not want to mount it down low for 2 reasons. Too much head down/
up movement for IMC (leads to spatial disorientation) and I have my
halon extinguisher mounted on top of the tunnel with flex hose that
can be inserted into the tunnel quickly and discharged with one hand.
There is a small spring loaded door just aft of the extinguisher
(don't make fun of the velcro!).
