Roll bar V1 mount - Any ideas?

Hey all, been awhile since I've posted.

Does anyone have any ideas for a V1 mount for a roll bar? I was thinking of buying the product from the image below and taking off the switch panel and somehow adding the suction cup attachment to it so the detector can still slide on/off onto the bracket. What do you guys think?

Here is my crappy photoshop from a picture of my car. Already have the power cord snaked into the body into the car for hiding.

I don't own a V1, so I'm not sure what the suction cup mount looks like, but I will throw an idea out there anyway. You could get an extra V1 suction cup mount and remove the cups. Drill and tap holes directly into the roll cage, and make mating holes for bolts to screw it right onto the cage.

RAM mounts probably has stuff for that. Find a "handlebar" mount that would fit your rollcage tubing diamter, and I'm pretty sure that anything with the AMPS hole pattern can be bolted directly to the V1 windshield mount.

Funny you mention that.. that is exactly what I did before the cage but attached it to a flat metal piece, then screwed it into the top.

I am not going to drill into the cage though... that is the catch. But I was thinking about just doing what I did before (screws through where the suction cups go) but onto a flat plate (where the switches are on that picture I posted)

You're probably better off that way. The thing about having u bolts on the roll cage is that you can adjust the angle. Tapping directly to the cage provides no adjustment. Well maybe washers, but that's just sloppy.
