    A while ago, I posted a picture of this clear plastic prism material that I stuck on my windshield to help with seeing the traffic lights. It didn't work so I stuck it on a bunch lower and that didn't help either. Ron Funkhauser made one from a "Head over Heels" perfume bottle on his Dodge sedan delivery. Looked at a lot of cosmetic counters and couldn't find one so I purchased a reproduction traffic light spotter from United Pacific online. I don't want to drill a hole in the wrong spot to mount this on the dash so could you guys who have successfully mounted one please put some pictures of what you did here? IMG_1769.JPG

    In their parking lot!? What’s wrong with doing it at home? :)

    On my Model A I just took out the original screw and put it there, works great and not in the way.[​IMG]

    You could get a base with a really strong magnet for it. That way you could move it around until you find a spot that works for you.

    Not a very good photo, but I mounted mine from the bottom of my overhead radio console.

    Thanks guys. I drilled a hole and mounted it but with all the stuff I have behind the dash, getting a nut on was a bit of a pain. Got the master cylinder back there.

    Looks like mine... eBay once again saved the day. It has a real strong magnet, has not budged since I put it on.
