banjo29 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Does anyone know of a good source to get a compact rearview mirror for a Se7en? Carbon fiber housing would be preferred to match my existing scheme, and someplace on this continent would be best, or reasonably priced quick shipping across the pond. Thanks,
xflow7 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I have a pair of the SPA Saloon sized mirrors (flat lens) that are surplus to requirements. These are not the really small Formula mirrors (I have those on my car), so they are a little larger, but some people prefer the extra visibility. They are not carbon, but are black plastic. PM me if interested. Dave
banjo29 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Posted July 24, 2008 Thanks xflow, but to clarify, I am looking for a center dash-mounted rearview, not the side mirrors, I have those already. It needs to fit between my windscreens, so either a standard shaped one but shorter, or a square, oval, round, whatever.
11Budlite Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Chad, Pegasus Racing has the SPA center mount mirror in nylon and carbon fiber here: http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/group.asp?GroupID=MIRRORSPACTR Not inexpensive, but good quality. Bruce :7drive:
Sean Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 http://www.carbon-bits.com has a small one in CF for £65 (currently about $130) + shipping. It looks like this installed: http://i321.photobucket.com/albums/nn384/BBL-Sean/2008-07-20_01.jpg >>> edit: ...and like this by itself: http://i321.photobucket.com/albums/nn384/BBL-Sean/7mirrors.jpg
solder_guy Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I have a small oval chrome mirror .. for sale .. it can be mounted to the dash .. I paid $30 for it .. If you like it .. $15. Rob
solder_guy Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 This mirror has a chrome finish .. which is nearly new! For sale cheap! Rob http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1022468448_DSC01575.JPG http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/98125463_DSC01576.JPG
scannon Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 If banjo29 doesn't want it, I'll take it. It looks like it will bolt up to the strap over the scuttle for my new Brooklands screens. Skip
banjo29 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks everyone, but I decided the best solution was to just buy another set of the F1 carbon side mirrors I already have, either side can be used as a center, and then I will have a spare in case one get's broken. At $69.95, it's definitely the best deal out there, if anyone is looking: http://www.360tuners.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=236 Real carbon fiber housing and good quality machined aluminum components. The fit & finish where the housing meets the lens could be a little better, but it's still acceptable (by my fairly high standards) and the price is right. Thanks again,
DB6 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Chad ,(BANJO) can you show how these mount?and whats the pros and cons of convex v plain, do most ppl go plain on driver and convex for passenger side? By the way, I am asking about the side mount exteriors.
Ian7 Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 partial hijack? I have a stock Caterham windshield-mount center mirror I've never used. Free to good home if you pay shipping from Montreal, or meet me at NJMP weekend of Sept 20th. (Send me a message, I dont check here daily) Cheers

By the way, I am asking about the side mount exteriors. Just a diamond-shaped base with two screws: http://www.marshsite.com/503-11.jpg The ones I got are just flat glass, but apparently they are no longer available from 360 Tuners. If I had the option, I would probably go convex on both since they are so small. I ended up getting this one for a center (could also use as L & R): http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/product/357/Club_Series_Race_Mirrors A little nicer quality but more than twice the price...

Thanks, I have a set of these that use Multivex lenses (better than convex) plus I use a Spa style dash mounted convex mirror with the stalk modified for lower profile. Her is the link that you will find on this site: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=2106
