Looking for radar detector visor mount
I've seen photos of a mount that attaches directly to the visor mount but I'm unable to track down the distributor. I've done a search on the forum but with no luck. Can anyone help out?
Thanks,

That's to bad. I was hoping someone still distributed it. It looks like the best solution. I don't want to hang the V1 under the mirror. Thanks for your input.

If you have the V1 then it is pretty easy to make a mount. Here is what you can do:
I have done this for both the V1 and Escort and both models fit good. I hope this helps.
- Remove the clip that comes with the v1 visor mount
- Go to a hard ware store an buy a piece of metal the width of the clip you removed an a little thicker. You will need a piece no more than 8-10 inches long.
- Bend it in a U shape so that the stock V1 visor mount(plastice craddle piece) can fit comfortabley in the lower tab of the U bend.
- Drill a hole in both sides at the exact same spot. The easiest way to do this is to place a block a of wood between the tab. and drill all the way through. Make sue the lower hole can fit a screw driver and the upper one can accomodate the screw for the visor mount.
- Remove the screw for the visor mount and secure the U bracket using the top hole with the bottom of the U facing the windshield.
- Slide on the plastic V1 craddle to the bottom tab and then slide the V1 unit into the craddle.
- Connect the wires and you are don.
