Abstract
Abstract A "U"-shaped polar bracket mounted on an automotive engine block has two curved slots at each end. A polar extension having two legs of unequal length is attached to the polar bracket. An automotive accessory is connected to the apex or polar point of the polar extension. This combination of elements allows great flexibility in the mounting position of the automotive accessory.
