  • Door / wing mirrors

    I will shortly be fitting the hood to DRL152K and I need to think about wing/door/etc. mirrors as part of the process.
    Does anyone have any suggestions / recommendations for the best mirror position and type?
    Looking at the gallery there seems to be a lot of options - some I guess better than others. I intend to drive the car regularly so need something practical rather than just chosen for appearance :-)

    I had ones from YKC on mine that were fixed to windscreen frame via tapped hole . Did the job for me!

      Yes - I have seen that many cars seem to have that arrangement. I don't suppose you know who made the mirrors?

        Car Builder Solutions have similar mirrors. I use a pair with long arms that are attached to brackets on the front wings when towing our caravan.
        They have a threaded end with a nut so with that removed, they would fit into a threaded hole in the windscreen frame. When screwed in they would need a washer of suitable thickness so that the arm ends up in the required position.

          As a Berlinetta owner I just took a look int Roadster galery to find that most of them have no side mirrors…
          For my cars I’v got Tex mirrors. A quick search for “Tex mirror” on eBay will give you a nice variety of them.

            Had a look at my son's Roadster and they have Tex mirrors with the pattern number 746275 if that helps. Stalks have no markings so maybe YKC had these made.

              Thanks for the answers. My car is very early, no tapped holes in the windscreen frame. Looks like I will have to make some :-)

                As you can see mine are attached to the door.

                Due to the thickness of the aluminium they are very stable and as an extra I put a spreader plate behind it.
