Cameras, Mount etc...
Been busy. Mostly with trying to overcome various issues with the Nitevision/HUD project.
One being projection of the HUD, the other main challenge, glare issues with the car cameras. Waiting now on an auto-iris lense to mate to the CCD.
Well, it's time to mount the new laptop dock in the trunk. I decided to not mount it via a hanging bracket from the inside of the rear deck this time. I was worried about it flexing. I noticed when pushing on the hanging bracket, I could see the deck torque. That can't be good over time.
Here's the new dock...
So my next thought was to drill and tap some holes in the bottom of the dock, and under the carpet, epoxy some flanged nuts to the floor of the car like so...
Then I thought I'd try something quicker.
I've got the cargo tray for my car. It's covered in raised circlular nubs.
I thought, if I could fit the bottom to the nubs, it would probably hold it in place.
I took the laptop dock and positioned it. Then I used some tape to mark the location.
I removed the dock and waxed the shit out of the area to stop the material (Raycrete) from sticking to it.
I mixed up some raycrete and placed seven good size blobs to make some feet and set the laptop down on it with some weight and let it sit for a few hours.
The result....
Seems like it will work perfect. Even kicking the dock (minus laptop of course) doesn't move it. It locks into place quite well. I'll have to put it back in tomorrow and hit some twisties for a real test though.
If it works, everything is getting this treatment (though I'll probably use fiberglass).
It would be great to not have everything flying around everytime I take a corner. It'll be like a big lego block. :)
With it in place, you can't see the raycrete, but I'll probably paint it anyway.

The feet do hold quite well, but if you hit a certain threshold, they do come loose.
I'm probably going to just staple some velcro straps to the carpet for now.

Looking fantastic! I love the idea of the custom feet. I just started using the 'hooks' side from velcro pads to stick everything in place. Even my emergency petrol can has velcro on the bottom, nothing slips around me boot anymore, plus it means it can be easily moved around when needed to fit things in, but still wont move from whever i place it :)
Keep up the great work!
