Scot...seems I remember more than one size screw in the package, but I could be mistaken.

Let me see if I can find pics of mine...

Scot...here's a link that shows WHERE I mounted the Techmount on my left handlebar...still looking for one that shows the rubber grommets.

this was shot when I had the handheld on the bike, not the 2820, but gives you some idea of where the clamp goes.

Dammit Scot...can't find a photo with the rubber grommets showing...I have them on my home computer, but not here at work.  If another, longer set of screws came with the kit, cut them to length...seems that's what I did with a pair of crimping pliers that have small bolt cutters built in...a dremel would work too.  The Garmin Cradle is what is holding you far enough away to keep the bolt from catching...look in the Garmin box too for screws..

 I ran into the same problem using my techmount; screws were too long.  I went to a local screw dist and was able to get the exact size I needed.  I did find out that the original screws/nuts are metric, so I bought stainless steel metric to match so I could use the nylock nuts.  Pretty inexpensive and looks clean.

TC,
 I had a hell of a time. They wouldn't return calls or answer the phone. I kept leaving messages and they finally sent me the correct mount. I had talked to my credit card company and had paperwork in hand to dispute the charge. I had even left messages that I would just pay for a new mount if I had to but it all worked out.

UPDATE:

Found the long screws at the local neighborhood specialty screw store... ( thats legal in Vegas, right?)
got her all together...  had to fight with the damn 60991 plate...  ( badly designed IMHO)
beat it into submission...  and she seems to be well set for a ride..
just need to do the power cord and wait patiently ( !) for the audio cable...
then im in bidness
thanks to all for your help!

If you have a set of wire crimpers, most of them have a set of screw cutters on them. I used this to cut them off and then used the grinder to relieve the end of the threads so the nut would go on easier.

Don't forget the simple solutions.  If you cut off a bolt (and have room to do so) leave a nut on the bolt above the cut point.  Then after it's cut clean up the cut line on a grinder or (hopefully) a wired wheel as necessary.  Then spin the nut off and let it chase the threads for you as it's removed.

hey gang.
i wasnt clear the long screws work like a charm..
the allen screw that holds the mount plate is a PITA..
badly placed, hard to tighten and keep tight...
the plate is missing some , uh, teets, which would help
but all is well
