Wing mirrors - will these pass?
Hi Guys,
quick opinion needed, will these mirrors pass SVA? Is there a radius requirement for the rear edges of the mirror housing?
Has anyone used these mirrors and passed?
See
wing mirrors here

No - it's what I have, the mirror carbon edges are too sharp. Ask JoelP to buy the ones I'm selling him once he's past!
I bought mine direct from SPA design though, not from Tweeks - may be cheaper, and also got them to send me longer extension arms so I can see over my
back wings. Also got the rear-view mirror from them too, and got the long stalk for that as well.
You can see it the photo opposite the original stalks are too short.

I bought mirrors from this company, looks like above mentioned mirrors.
at 18 € for a pair !!
No carbon look, and not SVA, but very good price ( +/-12 £ tax included )

Guys, Thanks for the input.
JoelP - I'm a while off SVA but have been offered some of the SPA mirrors for a reasonable, but not giveaway, price.
I'll leave it for now and investigate further nearer the time.
Again, Thanks to all who replied.
