Road Angel in an 850 T5 GLE estate

Ems T5 · Oct 2nd, 2004, 13:08

I've just bought a classic Road Angel and wish to have it on the dashboard above the central vents in my 850. The angle of the dashboard as it curves up to the windscreen doesn't allow the supplied bracket to be used without it either hanging in the air or at too awkward an angle to read the display easily.
Blue Tack will not stick to my dashboard. I've thought of using velcro but don't want to damage the top of my dashboard by sticking anything to it. I need the Road Angel to be portable to use in another vehicle and also to stop it from being stolen.
Has anyone found a solution to this please, or a better place to locate a Road Angel?
Thanks

The Road Angel comes supplied with a very versatile bracket which can be bent to suit the contours of various screen/dash. It has 2 suckers to attach it to the screen, and velcro to attach to bracket/Road Angel. Contact email: info@blackspot.com
Hope this helps

Hi Dave, I'm not sure the bracket will bend that much, I've tried it in a Classic V70 and, as it's got less of a curve going up to the screen, it seemed to fit much better there. Does the bracket bend best on the corners or the straight bit?
Any more suggestions very welcome.

V70 is a V70 when it comes to the windscreen, I didn't have to bend mine much, and it fits the 460 & my Mitze van.
