Garmin mount for 22mm bar

I want to try mounting my Edge Explore on the front loop of my loop bars and also on one of those extender bar thingummies. I can find mounts for TT bars but obviously they all mount the Garmin at 90 degrees to where I’d need it.

I suppose I could try packing out a 31.8 mount but I’d prefer something more solid.

Can anyone recommend a mount, or a clever solution?

Ta.

I've used two part 22.2mm bmx handlebar shims which take you up to 25.4mm and then reducers are generally available 31.8 - 25.4mm if needed.

You can get spacers from 22 to 31.8, i've got my Maxx-D mounted like this (sorry, can't find the ebay linky).
A thin piece of heli-tape on the bar should help to prevent it from slipping.

Edit: Think it could be one of these-

One of these would allow you to use one of the many 1/4mounts. Should have one spare, can post you one of whatever I’ve got for you to try if you want Charlie.

I think this is what you want.

You can modify the exposure quick release mount to take a Garmin Mount and with this shim its good to go.

Just found this which is what I was trying to describe.

Thanks all. I’m going to go with the shim Suggested by Wotsits. (Thanks very much for the kind offer to post one, Wotsits, but I might as well get a spare or two so I’ll go with eBay.)
