My Blend Mount for the Escort 360 came in today. It looks to be a real nicely manufactured piece. Install took about 5 min with the hex wrench they provide. It seems sturdy enough and with the weight of the 360 it appears that it will work quite nicely. It basically is a C style clamp machined to meet the contours of the mirror and stem. Well done BlendMount !

Has anyone determined the proper connection for mirror tap? I have one from my fusion but havenā€™t pulled the cover off my ranger to look yet. Iā€™d love to get my escort hooked back up.

So I reached out to Blendmount to order the BMX-2022 part for our Ranger. While it looks like it still works, the designers weren't satisfied with the fitment and will be putting together a new kit in the near future.

Their customer service is top notch and always have clear and fast communication!

Any chance you have a pic of the mirror stalk and base with the cover off?
Hereā€™s the pictures from my Blendmount Escort 360 mount and Mirrortap. The Blendmount was a beta build for the NA Ranger that was shipped to me on 3/20/2019.

Itā€™s been working great for me with no issues after driving about 1500 miles post install and I don't see them making any changes to it. It didnā€™t have a part number on the one they sent me, but I'll reach out to them and see if I can get one for anyone interested.

did you guys get your mount from Blend? Or are there retailers that discount them?

oggvorbis, when you removed the cover behind mirror was it screwed on or just clips? My thoughts where that maybe detector could be mounted to this cover . I have a collection of blend mounts from over the years and I really dont want to spend $140 for another even though they are very nicely made. Thanks Bret

It clips into place. When I received my beta-tester Blendmount, they sent me some spacers/extenders that I could use to add extra space to clear the plastic housing. The most important piece is the actual clamp to the stem. Blendmount had to send me a new clamp to fit the proper stem diameter.

Well I guess im cheap but I couldnt spend another $150 bucks for another blend mount although they are very well made. I tried to combine the 2 blend mounts I have and they wouldnt work. I ended up using the Bel mount and drilled 2 #6 holes in plastic cover under the rear view mirror and used an 1/8 inch piece of aluminum as a backer and threaded it #6-40. Mounted it and wired and its good to go,no shaking or rattles. Total cost 0. Hardest part was removing the cover under the mirror.
