$2 Escort Radar Detector Mirror Mount

I did a search and I didnt see anyone with this type of setup and i figured I would share. I saw this on another forum and figured it would work for us too. I couldnt justify spending 80-90 bucks for a mirror mount for my Escort 8500. So I made my own.

 

I picked up a Reflector Clamp Action Rear 25.4-26.8MM Seatpost clamp on Amazon.

Heres the link:

I removed the suction cups from the existing window mount. Then using some small bolts and a piece of metal I had laying around the shop I put it all together.

 

Just an FYI....you need the seatpost with the above diameter if you have the OEMAutoDimming mirror. I am not sure if the mirror post is a different size for the standard oem mirror.

 

I still need to install the hardwire kit but thats for another day...any others on here have done it before. The mount holds extremely well. Im still going to do a few more adjustments to get it a little closer to the bottom of the mirror.

You didn't see me post this on the Miata Forum, did you? Did this same exact thing last week.

Lol no! But that's really funny. I had the parts in my car for weeks and never installed it....because I'm lazy. Glad to see I'm not the only one

You're not the only one. I too am lazy.

It took me 30 minutes to remember where I saw this thread...I am on too many forums.
