second... that's still too much work for me

-- i have a mount from humount.com Mark's a good guy to work with, and the product is good, too.

Thanks, I will have to try that abs cement trick. Although I usually use 2 part glue, and that cant get any simpler. Jb weld or cold weld, is usually considered a redneck fix, but used in a situation like this it really holds well and last for years.

As far as the humount.com mount, I love them but a lot of people people don't want to pay 90 dollars for an non-illuminated mount. Even though they are awesome, this gives you the chance to make your own and customize it to your liking.
Plus it only costs around 30 dollars total, or even less for the people that keep this stuff aroundthe house.
