Warren E Smith Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 What about making up a mirror to fit into the door mount hinges? Some bod advertises these in Lowflying, but my memory is that you need enough cash to own a Caterrum to afford these mirrors... I'm Sure its' possible to DIY this setup TA Quote
Graham.J Posted November 6, 2002 Posted November 6, 2002 Sorry it's a bit late but i've just joined. I bought the Racetech F1 mirrors with convex lenses. I only wanted/needed them to see if anything was coming up behind before I pull out as my seat is such a shape it makes it hard to turn round, and it's dangerous!!! The mirrors are small but if it's an MOT pass then I'm happy, I can see out of them though.....with a telescope Quote
Mark Stanton Posted November 6, 2002 Posted November 6, 2002 What about making up a mirror to fit into the door mount hinges? You might just have a vibration issue to resolve Quote
Captain Colonial Posted November 6, 2002 Posted November 6, 2002 Yep, yer right there, Mark. Been there, done that, watched it vibrate right off the door like a paint can in a paint mixer. Racetech F1s mounted on windscreen pillars, no problemos. Quote
Warren E Smith Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Been there, done that, watched it vibrate right off the door like a paint can in a paint mixer. Er , Also to mis-quote a certain Mr Stanton from a thread not so long ago "It's whats left unsaid that can often count" I'm sure that vibrating door mirrors would be "just fine & dandy" during the course of the MOT.......

Captain Colonial Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 True, but if you're going to go through the expense and pain of doing it, it might be nice if it was useful afterwards rather than a complete waste of money - I already have a wife who can do that without my help. Quote
Mark Stanton Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 "It's whats left unsaid that can often count" O.K - don't do it cos they'll shake and vibrate like a shaky vibratory thing and you won't see owt. or I wasn't there it woz nuffink to do with me and You ain't seem me, right Quote
Doug D. Posted November 8, 2002 Author Posted November 8, 2002 I see where you've put yours Captain Colostomy but can you see anyfink or have you a fine view of your wheel arches? Quote
Captain Colonial Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 My Uncle George W. Bush may be the dumbest thing to come down the pipe since the Gatso camera, but I ain't no idiot. Of course I can see behind me. Plus they're the convex ones. I can see for flipping miles, me. But thanks for the concern, Doug. Reminds me of a Far Side cartoon: a man approaches a house, and there's a weirdo hiding behind a tree in the front yard, and there's a sign at the front gate that says "Beware Of Doug". Was that you?

Matt Seabrook Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Umm yes That will f*****g teach you 7 posts Doug. Quote
Doug D. Posted November 8, 2002 Author Posted November 8, 2002 I was only asking a purely sensible cider fuelled question so leave me alone I'm very happy the way I am. Quote
Blatman Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Wow. Only 8 posts and he's p******** some-one off. I think we have a new King........... Matt, make him put that can down, and share one of your dinners with him, to soak up some of that scrumpy....... Mmmmm.......... scrumpy............. Quote
