Step up fast.. don't be last.!

 

Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work. Good idea to start a new thread. Hopefully, it won't get hijacked again!

 

I've pretty much decided I'm going rogue on certain people and there way of thinking. (actually I guess I already have..lol) I find something that saves users a dollar.. well I'm linking it. I'm not here to make friends by conforming to their ways, and if they get sideways.. guess that's their problem not mine. Call me cheap when you won't even send 20 bucks to support the forum.. now that's a good one!

 

Heh, it cost more to ship them. Buying in bulk. Thanks for the link.

 

Bump for a bargain!

 

Mr M, the link for the 4 dollar mirror mount links to the auto-dimming mirror install (in your sig). Do you have the link for the 4 dollar mirror mount? Thanks!

 

I followed protocol and jacked that thread.. LOL. When I clicked it, I went straight to my post with pictures. Mini CCTV mount.. They should be available in black instead of the chrome one I got. Threading the hole etc. is a couple post above the "linked" post.

Here's a link to a black one..

 

THANKS for the heads up. I bought a few of them . . .

 

I checked that link earlier today and saw 0 available .. thought wow.. but I see they restocked..

 

I have no idea what I am doing wrong but I cannot for the life of me find that 4 dollar mirror mount. The link keeps taking me to the dimming mirror post. I searched every possible wording for mirror, 4$, mount, radar and combinations. So can you please link to the post and not the one for the night auto dimming one. Thanks!

 

Sorry for the confusion. Like I had said I just basically jacked the thread with a couple of post where I had taken the mirror loose.. tapped that hole in back with 1/20 thread and threaded the ball end into it. Using that post I re attached the mirror and put a drop of locktite on it (blue) and screwed it all the way in till it stopped. I ended up rounding the back side of the bracket next to the windshield as it was too close for my taste, (screwed the two halves together and ground it down) and my windshield mount on the detector had a hole in the bracket between the suction cups that I used after taking out the suction cups. I got the wiring done up to the homelink a couple months earlier and was using the original suction cup mount at that point.
It's really just like MikeR 's Valentine bracket without the price tag or custom made final adapter. Did you check the ebay link I posted in here?

 

OK got it, yeah I got an offer in for one of those mounts. I can see in my minds eye the way you mounted one of them ball joints into the mirror, I'll see if I can get that to work. Do you say the mirror/mount is sturdy enough for a radar detector mounted to the mirror? I can see how the cobra mount would easily take the other side of the ball joint attached to one of the holes in the mount. And, nothing is in the way (those pesky tightening wings on either side? Thanks again, time to pull out my tap/die set and see what kind of damage I can do to my mirror. BTW, where did you find the room to tap into the mirror, center bottom, center back near the bottom? Maybe pictures??

 

They are plenty sturdy! And you just tighten the screws on the side till you have fair drag against it moving.
There is a hole already in the mirror where you can insert an allen wrench and turn the mirror to remove from it's windshield base - that's the one you tap .. just twist it in a circular direction (un screw it basically about a 1/4 turn or so). If you have the autodimming, there is enough slack in the wires where it goes back into the homelink wiring to lower it and get it tapped. You'll need to pull the dome light assembly to pull the slack back up after / while putting the mirror in place.

 

OK, they took my counter-counter offer of $3.35 and it has free shipping. So you tap the mirror removal hole then how do you remove ithe mirror after you remount it? Maybe just unscrew the ballpost for the mount? It looks pretty easy and it'll also keep the windshield clean too!

 

Even faster/simpler:

 

After you tap that mirror removal hole.. start the ball stud into the hole, and use it to twist the base back on (instead of the allen wrench when removing).
Maybe this will clairfy more.. And yeah.. I need to remove that big a$$ thumb wheel and put a nut in it's place.. LOL.

 

Sound advice from an experienced user! Have you tried that on a stripped thread on your hub yet? Rumor has it you can! Gotta luv the variety of creativeness in this forum!

 

I don't strip threads... I troll them

 

And a fine job you do! Glad to see you've found a purpose in life!
