Dunno if stating obvious…
First obviously depends how much room you have.
If your bars are mega close to stem the double prong one might work.
Bottom right will attach to top 2 stem bolts.
Cheers, I may be able to wriggle a gap for that 2 prong one, i’ll take a look at the stem bolts as well. Pretty sure i don’t have them in my box though, but i know there are a couple of other bits and bobs in there. Need to remember where the blimmin heck i put the box! 
Unwrap the tape as far as the levers and rewrap with a bigger overlap, it’ll end up shorter giving room for tri bars and cover that bare corner where it doesn’t overlap enough at the moment, no need to cut any off.
In terms of Garmin mount, an easy hack is a piece of plastic tube zip tied between the tri bars then use the normal Garmin mount on that. I did that for ages before getting a proper mount. Just drill a couple of holes in either end of the tube to pass the zip ties through

Thanks, I think i know what you mean. Does it not rattle around?
I’ve got plenty of time to play around with it. Just wanted to quickly see if they would fit at all. I think moving the tape ‘out’ a bit is definitely the starting point. Then i can play around with the position of the extensions a bit more, then worry about the mount.
Or just swap back to the 705, where the mount could just be zip-tied between.
No, if you get it the right length and cut a bit of a “V” or curve in the ends it slots between the extensions, then do the zip ties up nice and tight and it’s rock solid.
I used it like that for ages with the little rubber mount thing Garmins come with and it was fine.
Sort the width out first so you’re happy as that will affect the length of the tube.

I might have one of the Garmin or zipp mounts in the drawer I can post to you.
Thanks so much. I’ll have a proper look and a proper play with what I’ve got first. Starting to feel like the forum Steptoe at the moment! 
If people have got stuff thats just gathering dust - Id rather it be used. I’m also really cr@p at selling stuff - so I’d rather give it away

I’m the same
I sell all mine …!
You don’t get it by giving it away, I’d gladly give freebies to fellow tri talkers though, not wheels or bikes though as I’m probably going to sell a few of each in the next 6 weeks… just crap in draws … doing nowt.
The rest … they will have to pay !

That’s every job at the moment…
I found a stem mount with big rubber band thingies.
Its not straight due to the shape of my stem. But it’ll do for a few weeks until my race. Then the bars can come back off.

And you couldn’t straighten it up before taking a photo?

Have you got the shaped rubber washer thing that goes underneath the plastic mount? I would have thought you could get it to sit straight with the extra give/friction.
If you haven’t got that a bit of inner tube might do the same job.
Yeah I’ve got the little rubber bit on there, but it won’t straighten. When the last band snaps on the hook, and that was seriously difficult, it all pulls to the side.
@jibberjim - it won’t straighten, that’s the prob.
That’s really odd. If the bands are that hard to get on maybe try going front to front and back to back rather than diagonal as that last one’s clearly pulling everything out of shape and finding the shortest route.
If that doesn’t work maybe try feeding one band through the other under the stem so instead of one band having to go over the other and being the tighter one. Each band goes over one part of the other and they end up the same tension.
Ps. I realise it doesn’t really matter as long as it works but I’m a bit OCD and that would drive me up the wall.
PPS. That right hand clamp is further from the stem than the left hand one

Yeah it’s not the final position, I’m juts messing about with it at the mo to see if it even fits. I’ll likely push the bar tape back and even up the tri bars. It’ll take me a few weeks to decide on the angle of the bars as well. Plus I need to find some rubber to go inside the mounts as I don’t want to tighten too much on the bar itself at the mo (just protected with a bit of tape at the mo).
Will have a go at that with the mount, if I can be arsed! I’m the opposite to ocd. I’m all about getting it functional with the minimum time spent on it.

I’ve used old inner tubes for this successfully in the past. Though now that I think about it, that doesn’t seem like the best idea.
Your extensions aren’t equidistant from the stem! 🙆
