Central mirror recommendations
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.
Rich

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.

Very good ideas here, I will do something similar myself.
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.
