rear view mirror needed

Jane....what's behind you ....is not important

...only if it's quickly gaining on you and has flashing red lights.

don't look at the lights , they will make you crazy.

Jane:

 

I made mine from a motorcycle mirror and fab'd up a mount for the mirror and the windshield center strut.  That's probably the hard way, but I'm sure that Carey Hines at Special Edition might have one for you.

frankly I would go without it if it weren't for the pesky pa insp rules! details details

 

Gordon, you got me thinking I should probably make something , thanks

 

 

 

 

Jane, I am heading to Special Editions tomorrow and if I like their new fancy-schmancy mirror they are offering now, I may buy one and then I will have one of their lesser, fancy-schmancy mirrors to offer up. Troy, I have offered it to Jane first if I do.

I'd like to see their new one wasn't aware of it.  thanks for the heads up and fair warning!!!!!! lol

 

I'd say thanks and your name but have no letter 'see"

Carey offers a new and improved mirror for $45 I believe.

 

They both have this magical rearward view as far as I know.

Bwaaaaaa haaaaaaa…that was a good one!

 

@Jane - you should have the following scribed into the mirror glass…"Objects in mirror are LOSING!" 

Is the new and improved, optics or size?  I'm looking for a larger one than my 5.75 x 2.25 from VS.

It's beefier, doesn't bounce around as much, and the mirror glass is a perfect fit to the frame.  Just a much better quality product.  This was not a scheduled upgrade for me, but a pleasant surprise from Carey.  He picked me up at the train station & I noticed it right away.  Highly recommended.

I'd say something like "oh come on, it's just a mirror", but the standard mirror is such a piece of garbage that one that holds its setting would be pretty much worth any price.

Here's what I did for my mirror;

I got a billet hot rod mirror from Speedwaymotors.com from their garage sale section because it was missing the stick-on windshield mount, about $16, then I made an aluminum block 3/4 x 1/2 x 1 1/2 long, sanded an angle on the bottom, drilled and tapped a 10-32 hole for the stud from the mirror. Next I drilled a 1/4 hole at the top and sawed it off to make a clamp. Than I drilled two 8-32 holes in the end for clamp screws to clamp it to the windshield rod. It doesn't look stock but neither does the rest of my car. Mirror is about 1 1/2 x 4 and solid as a rock.

Very nice looking, Chris.
