Escort Passport 9500ix Scope Mount
 

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! :tiphat:

SOB!!! That is really smart!!! Rep added sir

That's very awesome. Good idea but it'll be hard to replicate.

Nice dude! I'll probably end up buying a blendmount since I dont have things like angled aluminum sitting around - but if you decided to sell these unfinished (or platidip finished?) I would buy one and I think a bunch of people would since blendmount has a monopoly on these things.
