Old school rear view mirror camera housing - custom DIY

[Coughdrop]

Absolutely! I've got everything here, and I want to give credit where it's due. I even thought about making a few for a few members here and modified mine to fit the S9 cameras and the SONY IMX307 from Hansshow. The problem is, it just wouldn't be cost-effective.

What did you have to do to make it fit the hansshow camera?

I’ve seen a few really nice 3D printed camera housings but unfortunately, I don’t own a printer at this time. So instead, I bent this up out of one scrap piece of 2024 T3 Alclad aluminum. I decided to route the cable through the interior rather than take the chance of causing wind noise by going under the door gaskets.

One of you guys should go into production and make some $$. I’d order one.

Please post more on your wiring and waterproofing.

Looks great! Where did you route the cable to the outside?

Looking at it from outside, we drilled a hole just to the right of the back glass as in this photo. We drilled it from the inside so if you do the same be sure and measure carefully so you don’t hit the glass. There is a wire harness above the side curtain airbags you can zip tie the cable to. Try not to break any clips. Tesla uses many different types and they often look similar but can be larger or smaller.

The housing is attached with 8 10-32 100 degree countersunk brass instrument screws. Available from Aircraft Spruce and others. I used a soft rubber grommet for the cable pass through. The weatherstrip seal is the same thing used to seal outdoor ductwork.

Great tin-knocker skills; well done!

How did you print on the plate? With supports or without supports?
