Seems my portable 10" flat screen tv/dvd has no fixing brackets/plate. Do I need a new one[tv] or can I buy a bracket/plate to accommodate it; plus...where do people 'fix' their tv's ? I am wanting it to 'flip down, then flip back when not in use.
Fingers crossed someone knows !!
Thanks
Pam

Hi Pam,
Have a search for tv in previous posts submitted. There are some great posts detailing where and how to do it.

Its not easy to fit one if your Bongo is a flip top. If you mount it between the two front seats it would need to sit so far forward that the Police may take a dim view (ahem..) as you will be able to see it from the driving position.
I gave up and fitted 2 smaller ones in the headrests that work just fine.
Obviously if you have a tin top you might not have this problem....

Hi Tony,
Sorry for the confusion....I meant a flip top tv...not a bongo. Yes mine in an AFT... hence the problem. Glad you got yours sorted, but such a small screen as yours...would sadly be no good for me !!

THANKS FOR THAT MICK!!!!
Its exactly what I want.........now think I need a new TV as mine just has a metal handle , like a photoframe...to stand it upright ; nowhere to fix any fittings.
Anyway, something for me to plan and save for !

There is a plastic cover at the back of the bongo near the rear boot light on the roof that reveals a thread enough to attach a very small bracket to if you get the right sized nut.
