tweeky Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Help, I have a RiFaeroscreen on my car but all i can see in the centre mirror is the back of the high level brake light. Ive emailed RiF about this and he has said this is the first tine hes come across the issue and has mentioned that Spa do a taller mirror but its wider too. Does anybody run a SPA center mirror with a aeroscreen ? what view do you have ? and it the wide angle and hassel ? many thanks Tweeky In a purple haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6speedmanual Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Tweeky Whatever the mirror height and curvature there will always be a degree of obstructed view: part of the rollover bar, head rests, shoulders, etc. The centre mirror can also obstruct view to the front under certain conditions. Why not try running with the two outboard mirrors alone? With the narrowness of the 7 and its short rear, the 'wing' mirror alignment can be set so you can see other vehicle which are pretty much directly behind.

Nick Pargiter Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Tweeky You could also cut the mirror support down so you look under the brake light. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Normuss Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I use the Spa centre mirror with a JPE screen, as Nick suggests I cut down the stem to about 3" to look under the FIA diagonal, works a treat VX HPC - Loud and proud here Adding power makes you faster on the straights.

Myles Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I run the wide SPA 'GT' sportscar center mirror on the Caterham. The original mount was 100mm tall (if sourced from SPA) and this caused a number of problems with stability and viewing angle. I ordered a Caterham-standard (as used on their screens) 40mm post from SPA instead (and sold the 100mm one). This works fine for me, but could actually do with being lower as I've got the old-style single-diagonal FIA bar. SPA also do two widths of the center mirror from memory if that helps... 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweeky Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks guys for the replys. Shorten the post isnt an option all i would see is the spare tyre. I dont have a fia bar so height isnt realy an issue. Once again thanks Tweeky In a purple haze Edited by - tweeky on 1 Sep 2009 20:11:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
