dr_sharp Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I got fed up with suction cups not sticking so I decided to get a hard mount point that attaches to the mirror. I'll post some pictures when it comes in. Some others on here have had it in the past, but I never saw any pictures. I didn't want to pay $80 for the blendmount... that's more than half of what I payed for the detector itself [ame=http://www.amazon.com/BlendMount-Beltronics-Escort-Detector-Quality/dp/B002J47Q3O/ref=pd_sim_e_14]Amazon.com: BlendMount Your Beltronics / Escort Radar Detector. High Quality Custom Mount: Automotive[/ame] So I tried the "Country Joy Crafts" mount. It was only $60 and there's something nice about thinking I just payed some hillbilly to machine me a nice bracket. I feel like I stimulated the economy in the best possible way. http://www.countryjoycrafts.com/ConnectorForRadarDetector.htm In any case, if you've had experience with this I'd be interested in hearing. I measured the mirror with an open ended 3/4 wrench and it didn't even come close to fitting so I assumed that ours was the 23mm size. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTLEGACY007 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I've used both the blendmount and country joy craft mount on previous vehicles of mine and on the Legacy. The blendmount is definitely a much more solid design, with a lot more adjustability. The downside is, of course, the price. The country joy crafts mount was decent, but I found that it caused the detector to vibrate a bit, which was audible all the time and quite annoying. You may or may not have this problem with yours, but the solution I came up with was a clear plastic 3M "dot" type thing (the type of mount you usually see on the bottom of electronics and things like that, so they don't stratch the surface you put them on) which has adhesive on one side. I mounted it to the top of the detector, and adjusted the mount so that the 3M and mirror were touching. This stopped the vibration. Again, may or may not help you out, but it was the one thing which really annoyed me about that mount... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Did you use the adjustable CJC mount or the one that was fixed? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTLEGACY007 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 It was fixed, but sort of adjustable via literally bending the mount a bit more than how it came Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I wish I could use a detector but here in VA we only recently outlawed Marital Rape so that should give you a idea of how "progressive" we are LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSpecB08 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 To those that order from Blendmount.com Type in FRIEND in the coupon section before checking out. It gives at least $10-12 off the price. If that doesn't help then try searching Blendmount on Ebay; they're $79.99 shipped. Hope this helps another fellow Suby & Escort Radar owner =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
