$16 head rest screen mounts for portable DVD players

Hi all,

We bought one of the $349 portable DVD players from Strathfield with two screens.

They came with strap on headrest mounts which didn't look like they were going to last and were a major pain to put on and take off.

So it was off to the shed for a solution, before Thursday.

As a result I've come up with a solution and like the other projects I've taken on it's on my website. Try this link

They're at the top item under "My Projects" with pictures and basic constructions.

They work really well. You can remove the screen with or without the bracket and they don't wobble at all, even over local train crossings which provided the test benchmark. Because I have two spare headrests I'll probably just swap the headsets out when we're not using them. Keep the thieves at bay.

Be really handy if the Forester has the same spacing on the head rests but I'll bet they don't so I guess I'll be making another pair sometime soon. Oh well. Another few bundys in the shed - christ, they'll cost more than the pair of mounts!

Hope someone finds it useful.

Dave
