Title: BAZ!! Some Laptop Mount Ideas For You
Post by Danny_R on Sep 28^th, 2005, 7:11pm

This is the police console I have in my Crown Victoria with the laptop mount. These are the most common in America but since the Scorpio already has a console and a floor shifter it would almost be impossible to do it this way.

This site was recommended to me by one of the local Sheriff’s Departments. They do all kinds of Universal laptop mounts.

The model in the link above is available with a flat floor anchor. You bolt it in the passenger side foot well and the laptop hovers over the center console.

Sorry it took a while to get you the info mate, been real busy 8)

Kind Regards

"REMEMBER! The Metal Edge Is a Support Beam Designed by a Engineer!"

Looks like a normal metal angle-thingie to me..

A flat plate of plexi, with a piece of metal at one end for support.. and a semi-movable "snake neck" fastened to a floor mount.. shouldn't be too difficult to make 8)

Oh My Gawd! What the hell has he done to his Car?
Looks like someone has been sick all over it or gone daft with a bucket of yellow paint!!
He has the right nickname. Pimpster!!!!!
But the mount idea does look quite simple so there maybe a few copycats going about by next year.
