I received my IO Port camera mount and placed it as seen in the picture below. I thought that would be least visible behind the triangle-and-hole-thingy. Unfortunately part of the view is clipped by the seats. My setup is a GMG cage and euro GT3 seats.

Where is the best mounting position?

Thanks.

I think u need to mount on one of the x bar more then likely the top x bar by pass seat. Mike

Okay thanks, I'll try that later today.

Do you have the leather euro seats? Any advice for leather products? Porsche brand?

996FLT6

Yeah I do. I use the pcar brand. I'm not too regular with conditioning and cleaning leather maybe every 3 months. Mike

@Number54, this is off-topic. Today I tried to install the I/O port mount on my DAS cage (1-3/4" I think) and found that the screw is not long enough (only 2-1/2").

Could you do me a favor and measure the length of those long screws? Greatly appreciated.

^u have to order with the longer bolts since das bar is thicker then most bars. They have the small length bolt set and the longer bolt set when u order online. I ordered the longer bolts. Mike

As soon as I get back home I'll measure the bolts for u. Mike

Thanks, I'll get some p-car brand. I'll post the bolt lengths later if mike hasn't already done it. They seemed pretty long for the GMG cage. And I have a pretty thick piece of rubber between the mount and the cage.

Well Webbie I looked at my bolt and now I remember the bolts were too short . My mechanic told me after he installed bar and tried bolting on ioport mount the bolts were too short so he ordered this c shape type clamp. You could probably call ioport if they have longer bolts or go to your nearest hardware store. Here's a pic of mine. Sorry I couldnt help u. Mike

@Mike, you are a great help already. I thought I was on drug

@Number54, pls post the length if you have a chance, thx!

Number54

@webbie: I measured the bolts, they're 3.25" long.

I found the best position was just above the triangular part on the passenger side:

Mine is obviously a little different than yours, but here is a picture anyway I hope to mount a SmartyCam on it before my next event in late May.

Here is a link to the video for perspective. (vimeo link)

Hardware store only carries the 3" long bolts, $3 each! They just barely made it.
