Road Ready Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 What's the best way to go without the doors that doesn't loose the mirrors? Some kind of hinge mounting bracket? Do you go for a run with the doors or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky dawg Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I got a set from Beachman Racing (beachmanracing@mac.com) that slide over the posts and tighten with a hex bolt. Unlike the factory mirrors, no vibration. Edited October 14, 2014 by lucky dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I was looking for pictures of your mirrors, can you post some or a link to them? I have motorcycle mirrors that thread into the rear mounts for the windshield or Brooklands screens. I can use them with or without the side curtains. I had to drill out the brackets behind the sheet metal and tap them to a 10mm 1.25 thread to accommodate the threads on the mirror stems. http://usa7s.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=2870&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1299981268 http://usa7s.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=2869&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1299981268 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HankMauel Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I have a similar set up with a mirror mounted on the lower portion of the windscreen support bracket. Too low for most rear vision but it's "legal" in CA. Scuttle mirror shows mostly the spare tire so I have a suction mounted mirror, top of windscreen, left of center. Works great. It's a "watch the baby in the rear car seat" application! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVP66S Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If you prefer black, I put mirrors from an Aprilia Tuono on my motorcycle. http://product-images.highwire.com/1511853/2255885.jpg PS Skip: How well do those little side screens lower the buffeting?

jlumba81 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I usually run doors but no door mirrors. I use the 'mirrors for sevens' rear view mirror that clips on the top of the windshield. Got it from mirrorsforsevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 PS Skip: How well do those little side screens lower the buffeting? (sorry about the thread jack) I think they make quite a difference. Others claim they make it worse. I added the little stand offs at the bottom of the wind wings. Adding the mirrors lowered the buffeting even more. I also have the Mirrors for Sevens and I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road SHO Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 If you prefer black, I put mirrors from an Aprilia Tuono on my motorcycle. http://product-images.highwire.com/1511853/2255885.jpg PS Skip: How well do those little side screens lower the buffeting? (sorry about the thread jack) I too tried those motorcycle type mirrors, but they were designed for mounting to a horzontal surface, not a vertical one like doors or scuttle sides.

Alaskossie Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I use Spa carbon-fiber side mirrors, with the bracket made by Seven and Elans that mount to the windscreen frame, using existing holes. See: http://www.sevenselans.com/partsforsale.ht These brackets place the side mirrors high enough to be useful. I tightened up the mirror swivel actions with Bellville springs, in the manner suggested earlier on this forum. I also use a panoramic center windscreen-mounted mirror available from MirrorsforSevens. Together, these cover all bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotus 7 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 This may not be the answer that you're looking for, but I believe that several people use the chrome backs of the headlights as convex "side mirrors". Takes a bit of getting used to, but it works and is legal some places.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul, Should be the same as http://b2networx.com/ I think if you go to the web site and use the contact info, this might get you to Mark Scott . . . maybe; it's an old post. If that fails, contact jbanker (forum name). Edited October 15, 2014 by xcarguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hill Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 PM sent to jdbanker. Will advise what I learn here. Mark seems like too good of a source to lose track of. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASwede Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I would highly recommend these mirrors, based on function. They are not pretty. They slide on and off the existing door mounts with a sliding pin, so changing from door to doorless is easy. Does anyone know the source? I need a starboard side, and haven't been able to find them. No logo. I also use the panoramic, but I'm always glancing for the side mirrors. Habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pksurveyor Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I also have a set of the stalk mount side mirrors. The Brit gentleman who made them unt shut down his business years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road SHO Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 If I could just find a good mirror with a good pivot, I can build the adaptor to make it fit my doors AND door mount. All of the stuff at the motorcycle places is cheap chines crap. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Off road. I have used these http://www.constructorsrg.com/mirrors/hindsight.html on a sport bike I owned at one time. They are billet alu and are rock solid. All one would have to do is machine a "button" of 7/8" diameter with a hollow center that screws into the windscreen bracket.
