CradlePoint Vehicle Mounting Extension Bolt model 170906-000 for vehicle mounts

CradlePoint Vehicle Mounting Extension Bolt model 170906-000 is a replacement and accessory component designed for CradlePoint vehicle mounting systems. It provides a secure connection point between compatible routers and mounting brackets used in automotive installations, enabling reliable attachment for in-vehicle networking equipment during maintenance, repair, or retrofitting tasks.

Advantages

This extension bolt offers a robust metal construction suitable for repeated installation and removal. It is engineered to match the geometry and thread requirements of CradlePoint vehicle mounts, helping to maintain stable positioning of the router and bracket under vehicle vibration and movement. As a spare part, it simplifies field servicing and reduces downtime by providing a direct fit with compatible mounting hardware.

Suitable for

• Replacing a worn or missing extension bolt in CradlePoint vehicle mount assemblies
• Retrofitting or upgrading in-vehicle network mounts for CradlePoint routers
• Field maintenance and repair of automotive router installations
• Fleet vehicle deployments where secure mounting of CradlePoint equipment is required

When it may not be suitable

This extension bolt is intended specifically for compatible CradlePoint vehicle mounting systems; it may not fit non-CradlePoint or custom third‑party mounts that use different thread sizes, lengths, or head types. It is not a standalone mounting solution and must be used together with the appropriate CradlePoint bracket and router model.

Key specifications

• Function: vehicle mounting extension bolt for router-to-bracket attachment
• Material: metal construction for mechanical strength and durability
• Compatibility: designed for use with CradlePoint vehicle mounting hardware and compatible router series
• Use environment: automotive/vehicle interior mounting subject to vibration and movement

How to use

Install the extension bolt by aligning the bracket and router mounting points, then insert and tighten to the required torque specified in the vehicle mount documentation. Ensure the bolt is fully engaged and that the bracket is seated correctly against the mounting surface. After installation, verify that the router is stable and that cable routing does not place undue strain on the fastened connection. For removal, loosen the bolt and support the bracket to prevent sudden drops of the attached equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm mechanical compatibility with your specific CradlePoint bracket and router model
• Verify required bolt length and thread type against existing mount hardware
• Assess whether additional mounting hardware or washers are needed for your installation
• Check vehicle mounting location for sufficient clearance and secure attachment points

Usage recommendations

Use with the original CradlePoint mounting bracket and follow the manufacturer’s mounting torque and safety guidelines. Periodically inspect the bolt and mounting assembly for loosening or corrosion, and replace the bolt if signs of wear or damage appear to maintain a secure installation.
