[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]I made this to be Simple and Easy to make[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]so that a person with limited tools could [/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]make Easily [/font]and Quickly -
a Drill and 2 bits and glue are needed -
and some wood -
Ive been using a Rear View camera / Screen for 2 months -
Rear Cam can be mounted Anywhere on rear of van-
I can see Everything now --> its Wow <--
this system is Great - $100 ish
( will write another thread on cam use )
Screen is usually mounted onto the stock rear view mirror-
Since the Viewing screen can be put Anywhere
I decided to mount it on the Dash so I dont
have to take my eyes off the road to look Up at
screen/mirror --> just glance at it - Nice
Dash in my van is 100% curves - Not a flat spot Anywhere -
curves make attaching things Harder to do -
dash is thin plastic and flimsy also -
tried several different designs and they Rattled and moved
I dont want any noise -
after several tries this is what I cam up with
will take about 1 ish hours to make - + glue dry
I built this to have a Lot of Adjustability to fit the
many dashboards - mount is Bigger /Taller/ Longer
than needed - Resize to fit UR needs -
5 wood parts are made -
the 2 Arm pieces are the only parts that need to
be made carefully -
Holes need to be drilled to MATCH each others location
on the 2 arms so that 2 screws can go thew holes -
The part that the mirror attaches to was made in
DogBone shape so that air vents on back screen are not covered -
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Install 2 screws into holes to align and hold straight -[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Put Square Pin between arms for proper spacing of arms -[/font]
2 arms are glued to DogBone looking piece -
wood/epoxy/superglue will work -
(wood screws could be used to join parts/arms also )
once parts are in place and Aligned
Clamp and - [font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Let Dry Completely -[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]My dash has a Very Curved shelf on top center of dash[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]so I decided to make mount sit on this shelf -[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]tried several Bases and a wood rectangle that Touched[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]sides of shelf and Not the Bottom of the shelf at all[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]did not move/rattle around - worked best[/font]
I uses thick wood for the base to get some weight
to help hold in place -
(Screen also has a Built in Dash camera so dont want vibrations )
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]I drilled a 5/8 inch hole into base and carved[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]the end of Square Peg to fit into [/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]End of Peg is rounded to fit fairly tight into hole -[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]I used a knife to carve Round [/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Also I drilled 6 - 1/2 holes into wood to hold small solar[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]lights for charging -[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Paint now if wanted - [/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Do Not paint parts [/font]that Touch -
paint is glue -
I put screen so its Low and just slightly
above dash so front Camera can See Forward Clearly -
moving around a little for best view -
Tighten 2 screws to hold in place -
Wing Nuts on screws R best for easy adjustment
wood Parts size -
2 arms 5"long x 1"wide x1/2" thick -
Holes drilled every 1/2" threw both arms -
hole size to match screws U have -
screws are 2 inches Long -
DogBone 8" long x 2"wide trimmed to 1" wide in middle area
and 1/2" thick -
Square peg is 3/4" thick x 4" long
and end carved to 5/8" Round to fit hole
Base has 5/8" hole drilled into hold Peg -
hold is drilled in base for Best Location
(mine was in front corner of base)
