umm... why don't you measure it? Nice find.
|
i like these, but i just thought they were overpriced. so i plan on making my own.
|
This looks like a $3 Home Depot project. Hose clamp, maybe some foam padding, piece of metal or wood for the extension, miscellaneous screws, black paint.
|
good find!
|
I saw these a while back, but was concerned that the detector hanging beneath the mirror would block too much vision, so I made my own mount and put the detector up and to the right of the mirror.
|
The 23mm fits.

23mm or 3/4" mount?
|
3/4" mount if you have homelink.
|
Correction:
2005 w/ homelink requires 3/4" bracket (Jedi54 has one) 2006 w/ homelink requires 23mm bracket. (I have one) SAFEST BET: measure your bracket. They seem like they are made from home depot but actually are made from aluminum and anodized black. Quality is great and I like it a lot. |
My Valentine1 comes in tomorrow. Bought it after getting my first ticket. These cars are so hard to drive slow. Does anyone know what size mount is needed for a '07 with just a normal mirror. If not I'll just measure it.

Will do. Thanks for the input. Just got my Valentine1 today and already spotted a cop for me. Loving it. Need the bracket though soon since the suction cups don't seem to hold the best.

Jedi - How did you run your 9500i wires?
|
I have it also for my 8500...it works like a charm...highly recomended over the sappy suction cup mount.
This thing is solid as a rock. |

Can someone with this mount and homelink post up some more pictures? Maybe a couple from the driver's view?
