Hi folks

Can any one recommend a rear view mirror that I could fit to my scuttle and which is SVA compliant? Must look good and I would prefer either a chrome or black / carbon finish.

Be handy to know who the best / cheapest sources are too!

Goes without saying that a pic' is worth a 1000 words!

Thanks in advance.

I made my own...

Take a typical commercial mirror (e.g. Sierra) and cut it on the stem, leaving a short peg. Make a base plate with all the right edges, drill a hole, insert a piece of ali rod. make a 90 degree bend near the top, and drill a hole just big enough for the mirror's peg. Glue the whole thing together with epoxy or Loctite 601.

You have a SVA-compliant mirror!

I can take pictures if you really want...

David,

Can you post a pic as I'm planning something similar with my Sierra mirror - always useful to see how someone else has done it

Cheers

Mine looks very similar to Lenny's example.

The only difference is that I made the joins to a faily close fit, and glued it together with Loctite 601 - a seriously strong adhesive.
