Jas has a bigger sucker fixing for the front window, cost alot though, I think he said £80 or something but it is the dog danglies..

when i went to the rally day m8, i saw people using a plunger device. It works by mounting the camera to one end using a specail bracket it comes with, on the other end you stick the plunger to the sun roof / winscreen.



im sure someone here will know what im talking about and post a link.

Make sure you mount it (securely) on the dash or window, the seats move too much and youll get loads of camera shake.

i put a dish sponge between headrest and cam then duck tape it to hell, been on the roll bar of my caterham like that, no probs.

Bros getting me a minicam from HK though, far better as you cna mount it to the side of the car etc etc.

 

[ChavyBoy]

Jay, the 2nd one in the list is the one Jas has, very strong and sturdy.
