I was looking at the mounts for the escort passport radar detector, I've got the suction cups on the windshield which I really didn't like.
The hardest part for me to build a custom mount was the rear view mirror attachment, what could you use to attach to the mirror?
Of course! I had an extra scope mount ring I received from a Tikka T3 rifle I bought last year, just about the right size too... off to the shop to build a mount!
Here is the scope ring mount I am using as my attachment to the rear view mirror.
I had a piece of aluminum angle I cut to build the arm for the detector bracket.
I used a file to angle the end of the aluminum so it would clamp into the ring base.
Bent a couple of angles in the aluminum and test fitted the bends.
Sprayed it up with plasti-dip for the stealth black ops look.
Here are the pics with the detector mounted, my phone pics suck. I might do some more bending to get the detector more forward toward the windshield, will give it some good test runs and get some better pics also.
Have fun!
