  position and install Pi and Pi case

  Find the middle of the case, I divided the upper portion of the case ( the portion where the screens reside) into three sections or columns. Here you will mount the Pi towards the top of the middle column. I used an old case and build the case backwards to raise the Pi leaving room behind it for wiring. I used nano grab tape to secure the case

  Position and secure screen mount one.

  Start by cutting off the two hooks on the mount that would be pushing against a cars headrest. Now assemble the screen mount completely. Next take the 10.1 inch screen and put it in the mount. Now place the mount next to the Pi , make sure the mount unfolds up not down. Now make sure the mount is straight in that column. Take a marker and mark a lay line. Now cut a piece of nano tape to length and lay it on the line. Next lay the mount. From here I had to fabricate a back panel for the 10.1 inch since I could not find an enclosure for a 10.1 inch screen. I did this with a plastic sheet and hardware I had lying around. I just measured my dimensions and cut out with scissors, drilled the screw holes. After mounting the back panel I put the screen in the screen mount and attach the 90 degree HDMI mount and HDMI to mini HDMI cable. Now run the cable, when you find a nice path lay some nano tape  to secure the the wire in place.

  Build cover panel for the Pi case and wires and mount it

  You can use wire spacers, I used the centers of dog poop bag rolls. To begin take 5 spacers, 2 plastic mounts that are with screws and cut 5 rectangles with sheet plastic. place the mounts inside the spacers, tape them in and flip them. Fill the spacers with hot glue securing the mounts. Now with UV resin attach all rectangles to the bottom of those  spacers. the spacers with no mounts get filled with glue now . let all 5 mounts cool and dry for a few minutes. From here measure the dimensions of the center column panel needed, measure from the very top to two inches from the bottom and leave about a quarter of an inch over hang on both sides of the Pi. Cut the panel and round the edges on the bottom. place two mounts at the top and one at the bottom (none have screw mounts) . Secure the mounts with nano tape. Use screws to secure the last two triangles by screwing them into the panel, place nano tape under those two and press the panel into place. Make sure the panel is not to high and does not hit the screen mount.
