Center Mirror with Brooklands

Mike-Sounds exactly like almost every car repair experience I have ever had:). And why I mostly leave it to the "experts".

Mike, you are being too modest. You fixed your front suspension issue, that was found during tech at LOG 30.

The Brooklands project is inching ahead smartly. I've been working on this off and on (more off than on) for about 2 1/2 years.

 

Since Caterham doesn't make a kit for the SV I had to buy the narrower version for the S3 and section in the extra four inches.

 

I found a set of motorcycle mirrors I like but they come with a 10mm thread and the captive nut on the windscreen bracket is an 8mm thread. So I drilled and tapped all four holes and the motorcycle mirrors are mounted on the rearmost holes.

 

Next problem is finding a suitable center mirror as mentioned in my earlier post on this thread. Awhile back I bought a small mirror from someone on this forum. It seems a little too small and low for my purposes but I think I will try it out and see if it along with the motorcycle mirrors will provide all the rear vision I need.

 

All that is left is to polish out the joints in the mounting strap and bolt on the center mirror. It is stuck on with double stick tape in the pictures.
