This is a bit of an odd one....But..

Im trying to find three or four small plastic suction cups that I can use as the basis for a car mounted bullet camera mount... (Something about 1-2" in diameter)

The problem is, appart from buying the blessed things on ebay, I cant think of anywhere locally that might have them..

I have been to halfords and focus to see if there was anything with suction cups that I could disasemble....but no..

So does anyone have any cunning ideas of a cheap source of suction cups?

Check out http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/ They specialise in that sort of thing

Yeah I had seen the dogcam mounts...

THey are expensive for what they are, and they also dont let you easily adjust the angle of the camera...which is kinda important...will deffinately have to go in hunt of babies car stuff...

How about sucker fitted rear view mirrors.

Not a bad idea, but they are quite pricey...(considering suckers per pound)

Halfords - for sticking L plates on - you'll get around 4 for £2 (plus a couple of L plates!

your local supermarket! they have these things in multi packs with hooks on...

ive seen them in B&Q before near christmas lights. Used for holding fairy lights etc on windows. they might be near the rope and pulleys other times of the year.

If you drink PG tea, you can get them for free:



blimey, people are selling these on ebay, together with post cost 3x what you can buy them for in Tescos!!! Eaby madness!!!!!!

Don't think I would trust a camera to these. Why not use a magnetic welding clamp. machine Mart do ver powerful ones at a good price, and they switch on and off!

A magnetic welding clamp would make a pretty mess of my very well cared for bodywork...

Its only a tiny little £30 bullet camera...it doesnt weigh much, and provided I use enough suckers as failsafes, it should be ok...But I will be doing some testing on the finish article as soon as I find some damn suckers!
