Positioning mirrors.
I need some advice/tips on how you worked out where to put your mirrors.
Did you just put them somewhere near the correct position and hope that the adjustability would bring them into the correct field of view? Or is there
some technical method involving string, swearing and a tape measure?
All advice appreciated as per usual!
Mark.

Blue tac and best guess. Though yet to go through IVA so will probably find completely wrongly placed.

First off, make sure your mirrors are the right size...

Or get a 2nd person to hold the mirror while you sit in the seat and move it around till you think you've got the best vision from them

Well I just bought some big dumbo mirrors and bolted them at the highest point of the side panel, turns out mr IVA was more than happy!

We attached the mirrors to lengths of plywood and gaffer taped them to the scuttle. Parked the car on a level surface (the road outside the house was
perfect!!) with enough space behind and to the sides and marked out the marker positions as specified in the manual and adjusted the mirrors until all
the positions could be seen. Then fixed them in place. The biggest problem we had was getting enough height in order to see over the rear wings.

I just stuck mine on and hoped for the best!
Turned out IVA man was very happy with them. He did say a lot of people fail because they don't position them high enough to see over the rear
wings.

Longacre and two big bike mirrors. Just made sure the bike mirrors were high enough to see over the rear wings and that turned out OK at SVA.
