Re: Off: Shoulda had ABS on the Hard Drive



For brake testing we would install an AL platform on the console to hold a laptop. Usually just bent sheet metal with extruded AL angle supports. Put male velcro tape on the console and female on the bottom of the laptop. You have to be careful when you take the laptop off so you don't tweak it. We once had a vehicle with an AED (larger and heavier than a laptop, but with more area for velcro) spin and roll at about 50 mph on concrete. The AED stayed put on the dash. After this incident all AEDs were also tied down with ratcheting nylon straps.

Better Safe than Sorry,
