The oem-style camlock puck shaped mount is attached to the windshield by glue...

I got a normal 'wedge' mount at Autozone or something for like $3 and used clear epoxy to attach. Any of those mobile glass repair guys could do the same thing within half an hour if you're worried about trying it yourself.

Damn, I was hoping you found an adapter for our OEM mount.

You don't have the STL available by chance for printing do you?

Sure, I'll work on one in a bit, but here are the big ticket items at the top of my head. Will update post when I think of the rest:

1x Reverse Backup Camera,RAAYOO L002 2-in-1 Universal Car Front/Side/Rear View Camera
Amazon Amazon
Use the hole mount included

1x Gentex GENK332 3.3" Display autodimming mirror
Can use any rearview display mirror, but Gentex is the gold standard and supplies almost all OEMs.

1x Dorman Wedge mount.
dorman mount at Advance Auto

1x T-tap 22-24 awg

This is to tap into the reverse signal wire under the kickpanel

1x 1/4" female spade
For accessing +12V switched ignition. See detailed info here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-el...use-box-97374/
Might also be included with the Gentex Camera.... YMMV.

1x 3D printed mount (see STL file above)
Black ABS is recommended

1x 3D printed bezel (see STL file above)
Black ABS is recommended. Some sanding might be suggested to ensure best fit and appearance

1x Generic rubber o-ring to fit groove in bezel.
Approximately 16mm

10' or so of Generic Braided Wiring sleeve:
Amazon Amazon
or equivalent
This is really optional to make everything nice and neat.

1x old RCA cable...
I hacked up an old 3 prong rca cable so that I could still disconnect the mirror harness from the camera which comes terminated with a video signal plug and 12V power plug

Tools:
Wire strippers
Soldering iron and solder is recommended, though you could get away with wire-twisting and electrical tape.
Socket and extension, I thin kit was 8mm? Something like that... to undo the old cylinder lock hardware
Heatgun or hair dryer to soften up OEM mirror mount
Plastic spatula or similar to help remove old mount

Wow did you have the lower part of the CR front lip painted?
Don't think I've ever seen that plastic section painted before.

unfortunately it was done by one of the previous owners. I hope to get it back to original some day.

Thanks! What slicer program do you use to print? I'm using Cura but for some reason the file is too small, so cura automatically scales it to 10,000%

Hmm for this I had used Flashprint which is basically a makerbot cloned slicer.

I might have did the original PTC Creo model in inches so I would try setting the Cura units to inch?
