Stu Smith Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Hi,Looking to fit a wide angled convexed interior mirror to the windscreen.I can only find brackets that fit to the roll cage, anyone fitted the above type of mirror to the screen?

graearea Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Hey Stuart.I just bought one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233043577895and I now sell the brackets for them here: https://uberniche.co.uk/momimohold on. you mean to attach TO the screen.... hmmm. I could probably do you something for the same price that would stick to the screen with VHB tape.I suspect VHB might not be up to the job as you're going to want to twist the mirror at an angle which would likely mean the mount would struggle to sit flat on the screen.DM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo7 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Hello,I'm also looking at options to install a wide angle Longacre type mirror to the windscreen.I was watching a YouTube video by CaterhamJoe (Fish & Chip Run 2022), he has a screen mounted wide mirror. He has replied to my question and advised that it is the Pitking wide view mirror from DemonTweeks, and some GoPro sticky mounts and GoPro "J-hook" mounts to attach it to the windscreen.Hope this helps.Then in another video (by AdamC3046), I spotted CaterhamJoe's car which shows the mounts more clearly.

Wrightpayne Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I have a Summit child suction rearview mirror (from Halfords) which has a surprising wide angle view for such a small mirror. Only a fiver-ishI think we bought it for the tintop so SWMBO could see the kids from the passenger seat when they were little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Smith Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 Thank you all. Im going to try Jimbo7's suggestion of the GoPro J hook mounts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamscotticus Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Straight. If I csn do it accurately, i could measure all the angles and report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graearea Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I could probs design and 3D print some of those multimirror things, they look quite neat if you don't have a cage. it doesn't have the requirements of scale that injection moulding requires and I find this stuff fun. sourcing mirrors would be cheaper with a batch.....Stuart, I think the J hooks will be fine, but my personal mirror is very canted off to the right so that it gets a mostly even spread. looking at the J hooks you're going to get much more of the left. if you can get short J Hooks and long, that might work.here's mine (with a bright orange mount cos otherwise they're invisible....

Beagler Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Would have fit this if lens wasnt so scratched. Its from a Tornado F3 I rescued from the scrap bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beagler Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 There was an array of about 5 of them attached to the canopy frame in front of the Pilot and Navigator to give a panoramic view rearward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
