Thanks guys.
we have a HUGE trail system within 10 miles max from my door step. the mining road I was on yesterday is 5 miles up university then you pull off and go towards the mountain.
and this is how I mounted it.
it is a:
Thumb Screw>lock nut>flat washer>small o ring>big o ring> fender washer>body panel>fender washer>big o ring>small o ring> camera
the O Rings act as a shock absorber which is why the camera stays pretty solid mounted.
the Lock nut allows me to adjust the height on the whole set up depending on what it is mounted to.
it is pretty ghetto but it works.
I can also flip and rotate video in my editing program so it is not a big deal. I plan to make a sick video after a few wheeling trips of video.

yeah a little powder coating was in mine too. i just ran the bolts a few times up until the locks (they are locking nuts so dont wanna wear them out) and it was fine. I might go instal one side real quick just to see about ease of instillation. then do the write up off the other side

I shouldn't be too bad. The video on their website was pretty good. I'm glad that they made these. I didn't really like the design of the ones on hdoffroad.com.
