Fix for Zumo screwdriver cap

[Green RT]

This is so simple that I hesitate to bother with a post. But it took me 4 months to figure it out, so it might be useful to someone else.

 

The Zumo motorcycle mount comes with a little screwdriver with a specialized tip for the security screw on the Zumo mount. The screwdriver attaches to a key chain and has a cap to prevent it from poking holes in one's pocket. I found that the cap was always coming off.

 

Today, I went to the hardware store and bought ($0.20) a small rubber gasket to slip between the screwdriver and the cap. I think this will provide enough friction to keep the cap from coming off.

I recommend ditching the 'security screw/screwdriver' and using one of these 'thumb screws'.

That's what I want! I wonder if it will work for the GArmin 2610/2730 mount.

 

That security screw is a PITFA

I thought the purpose of that little screw was anti-theft as well as security in the holder? But then I always take the Zumo off and store it when I stop---don't tighten the little screw.
