JAL73 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) I have a trackday roll cage on an SV car and need a cage mounted rear view mirror. This will be for road use and the occasional trackday. I see there is a 15" Pitking mirror with one long (2.0-5.5" adjustment ) and one short (0.5-2.5" adjustment) mounting clamp from demon tweeks. OR theres a 14" Longacre mirror with equal length mounting clamps. I assume the 17" Longacre mirror is probably excessively wide for an SV cage? Any recommendations on any of the above options? If you go for equal length shorter clamps can the mirror be angled towards the driver enough to get an optimal rear view? OR.....

PaulRainsford Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) I’ve recently fitted the pitking wide view mirror. Came with both equal and unequal length mounts but decided to fit the equal length as I felt it looks better and gives a good all around view (importantly covers the blind spot created from having the cage block my spa passenger mirror) - not driven with it fitted yet but seems decent quality 🙂 Edited February 24 by PaulRainsford Spelling mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAL73 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 thanks for those pics. i guess thats the 15" pitking not the 17"? is your car an S3 or SV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s the PitKing Caterham mirror (as per the photo in your initial post) from Demon Tweaks. Apologies, mine is an S3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc007 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I fitted a Longacre 14” to my S3. It fits perfectly in between the Double-D of my trackday rollcage. It tucks up out of the way much less intrusively than the photos above. I fitted it using rubber mounted P-clips and small L-brackets. I doubt an SV is wide enough to accommodate this in this out-of-the-way position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graearea Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) I sell mounts that allow you to fit a screen (otherwise the mounts hit the screen too) by using 2x removable zipties and some vhb tape. They’re shown here but I’ve not added the vhb tape in these pics or cut the tails off and hidden them, which neatens it up massively. I can do them for 32 or 38mm cages. 28 quid delivered with zipties and tape. They hold at 125mph with no screen. I usually do 1 short 1 long but can do whatever details on uberniche.co.uk for a mirror I use a cheap convex ebay one. 22 quid.

I ended up buying a 14" longacre mirror with standard mounting brackets but prefer the recessed look of yours. I also have the same trackday rollcage. What is the box above the mirror with the red R on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graearea Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Racebox mini. I’ve since flipped it and need to redesign the bracket to hide it better as it’s quite expensive. Haven’t offered it for sale as it’s a bit niche… dunno maybe people would like it. Edited March 3 by graearea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jody391 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I went the same route with my rear view mirror, so much more vision and it’s well out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
