I won’t knock a DIY effort - I’ll just say the Revolink is the molle shelf and the bracket that mounts on top of the shelf. So kind of a twoferone deal. I’m all for DIY stuff, but in my case I was looking at rear shelves anyway
I got the same thing and struggled to get it to hold up as well. I see you have a spacer in the clamp, I think I need to look at doing the same.I was able to get this to work in the 2 door. The Starlink also works through Jtops mesh as well.

Glad it worked
Yep. I had the same issue and it let the arm sway. If you come up with something, pass along please.
Yup, works fine on my Heritage.
Hey Swoosh, I like the simple design for your mount! Would you be willing to share your print file for the insert that you made? I’m working on a mount for my mini. Thanks for posting this!This is my take on the excellent design by @RHeinz https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/starlink-mini-installed-for-remote-camping.106167/
I'm not sure if this will be my final design but I had all of the components sitting around. Don't ask why I have spare 1in wide steel in my inventory. But I definitely keep a supply of rivnuts.
The first step was a mount, I think some people use a camera tripod mount, so 1/4-20? but since I could print my own mount, I did.
I inserted a M8 rivnut in the mount and then a shorter M6 as a set screw.
Then for the strap/bar I just drilled one end for the M8 and the other end for a M8 rivnut. The rivnut was too long so I cut it down and that was just enough to clear the roof bracket perfectly. I found a short M8 but it was too long so I used a large nut as a spacer. I will find a proper length or print a better spacer. If I remember to.
I calculated out the bend at 19.5˚ and went over to a friend's to use his vice. Of all the tools I have that's the one thing I don't.
First pull was exactly 19.5˚ but since I didn't account for the weight of the antenna I had to lessen the bend and now it presses the antenna nicely against the roof.
This whole thing works so well I'm not sure if I can improve it. Although I may still print out a frame just to protect the edges. And maybe add some M8 thumbscrews like @RHeinz did.
I could also design a frame that uses the bar but allows the antenna to slide out. But we'll see how often I need to do that.
I got the antenna registered and will try it out for real tomorrow as I head to the coast. I didn't test the speeds yet as I think the saturation in the metro area is pretty tough.
For now I will just plug the AC adapter into the Ecoflow (which will be plugged into the Bronco). I'm printing out a cord reel to take up the slack. I will look into a shorter cable. Not sure if it will be USB-C or 12v.
I thought I posted a link. Try this. https://makerworld.com/en/models/1736736-starlink-mini-bronco-mount
Did you ever come up with a printed spacer?
The front of your Mini is resting on the cross bar, correct?
