Project Finished

Well, almost, I still have to find a new pedestal mount rear view mirror that I like. I've been working on this off and on for over two years. I had to have a 4" piece sectioned into the cowl strap since they don't make one to fit an SV Fat Bastard.

Looks great allthough im not a fan of brookland screens on the more modern Caterham, but you need a little one for the radar detector one little stone will take that sucker out.

 

I was thinking about a Bumble Bee taking out the laser lens :ack:

When I bought my car it was fitted with a SPA mirror on a 5 inch extension straight up from the center of the bar. It offered a good rear view (sort of the point of a mirror...) and it cleared both screens. The problem was that given my height (5' 10") and sight line it also pretty much completely obscured the front right hand wheel which made taking very tight right hand lines (cones etc.) a bit tricky. I chopped the extension and repositioned it down and back to provide a clear view forward and so it didn't hit the screens. It doesn't offer quite the same rear visibility but it is perfectly adequate.
