Ahoyhoy

I've fab'ed up a camera mount that bolts into the rear jesus bar mounts in my car.

I’ve noticed that a few people have a similar setup that race at the club days.

Just wondering what sorts of measures are required for actually mounting the camera to the mount.

I'm assuming the little M8 bolt in the bottom will not suffice.

Ideas?

the cams manual says you need pretty much a full box made out of (minimum) 5mm plate, but i've seen ones with as little as the m8 bolt in the bottom and a single cable tie over the camera.

i think the main thing they look for is something at the front of the mount, to stop the camera flying forwards.

they better allow my new one, can't arsed making it again :rofl:

mine uses a billet alloy mount to clamp to on of the roll cage bars, then the plain ol M8 bolt into the botton, and then a kevlar strap around the camera to hold it down. The strap has a strain rating label attached too (from memory it's 200 pounds or something). it was approved by the scrutineer at a recent cams speed event.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
