Is it "Targus" that makes that? Its pretty nice, theres no "FRY's" where I live, have to get it online. The DIY in cabin mount, nice too!! I think Im going to do the same thing only without welding, Im going to make an adaptor bracket.

In case you might think it isn't strong enough...I think it will hold more than 25lbs

FRY's is a electronics store, kind of like Best Buy or Circuit City.

But I couldn't find the camera mount on their site.

Well, thanks for the reply's and ^^^ that looks like a good mount aswell, Looks like it can hold some weight.

I'm having problems with my Uploader so i'll upload it more than likely tomorrow.

The 2 clips are just a Daytime and Nighttime Launch - 4th gear pulls so it's nothing that big.

The size of the Baby Seat bolt.... Just use the one that comes in that location. Thats what i did. I forget what size it is.

As for the Camera, Yes it's shaky a bit, but it's cause of our roads out here by my house, They're always doing construction so they're not the smoothest of roads. But remember, This cam will be mainly for Track so it won't be as bumpy as the road.
