side mirror

[grahambiddulph]

Anyone out there know where I can purchase side mirrors that fit to the car

when the side screens are off. i.e. when the wind deflectors are on.

I assume they will fit onto the windscreen frame. *wavey*

Try Nifty - he may have some left over or may be organising another bulk buy some time - great equipment

Or SPA - they do a variety of units that can be fitted to the windscreen stanchion, so they can be used with or without the sidescreens.

 

Photos of my GT/Le Mans convex mirrors from SPA here.

Or... europa do an overtaking mirror in stainless. Reverse it on the arm, bend back a little and it will clamp on the stantion!! £15 budget solution!

 

Works for me.. though I've ended up cutting down the wind deflector as well...

 

you can just see it in last photo below

Hi Graham,

 

Are you after the small racing type mirrors that are often seen on aeroscreens or ones similar size to the normal door mirrors that are fitted for SVA purposes? In both instances they fit to the screen when you remove the middle screw on the windscreen stanchion.

HI Nick,

 

Yes the small ones would be good. Where do these come from, also do you mean

that the old mirrors from the side screens will also fit onto the windscreen

frame. Do I need to get new bolts or screws to fit these.

Hi Graham,

 

The small racing mirrors would come from somewhere like Demon Tweeks or similar and very likely to be available at Stoneleigh this weekend.

 

For the SVA mirrors, a new stud is screwed into the windscreen stanchion which allows the mirrors to be clipped and fixed into place. The mirrors and screw are a kit I think but a similar size to the normal door mirrors.

 

Cheers

Nick

Don't forgot that RiF (Carbon Bits) also sells a good range of mirrors and fittings, including stanchion mounts, at pretty reasonable prices.

If you want to give the SVA ones a go Graham, I have mine left over you're welcome to them (for a donation to NtL, of course 😬). I'm missing a grub screw on one of them, but I'm sure you'll be able to get hold of one from CC.

 

Swapping the mirrors over is a little fiddly, and takes me about 10minutes a mirror. This is quite a cheap solution though.

I've got Rif mirrors and they are very good although I would advise you get the ones with the full "widescreen lenses" as I have the carbon ones and they tend to need a bit of getting used to due to the flat screen.
