Question OK - got the DVD unit for the kids.... mounting the tfts

Got a bargain machine (Venturer PVS19271) - perfect for the car.

However, it comes with straps for mounting the screens.

Me no likey

So, I've scouring Ebay, and have found a tidier alternative.
Bracket

However, the issue is the mounting screw - my screens don't have one (due to the alternative strap assembly)

Here's the piccy -



I've got an idea the I could make an adapter, but anybody got any ideas?

On the picture of 'your' monitor, there appears to be a screw holding on the black 'rubber band' towards the bottom of the screen.

can this not be removed and the threaded hole used for the vertical bracket on the Ebay device?

Seems too simple, so I'm sure I'm wrong!

Other than that, the Ebay device looks a little flimsy to me, particularly the vertical support - the headrest part looks fine. I think the screen will pitch back and forth under acceleration and braking - especially as it looks like thin spring steel from the picture.

Thanks Neil,

I'd thought of that - but the screw's different.

Totally agree with what you're saying about the flimsy bracket though Need something along those lines, but perhaps a bit more substantial

Any other suggestions? (apart from buy a better DVD!!)
