I have some wing mirrors mounted through the mudguards close to the side lights. These are over 2m from the seating position and have never really been satisfactory as a small vibration has a big effect.
This has become more noticable as with OD and a Sprint axle, cruising at motorway speeds is a lot easier but the need to check for vehicles coming up from behind greater..
I have seen some cars that have what look like motorcycle, concave, wing mirrors fitted through the lower windcreen support posts, immediately in front of the doors.
If so, these are commonly M10 male threaded. As the chassis is only 3mm thick steel, has anyone considered drilling a larger hole through from the inside in order to fit a securing nut?
I know the windscreen surround also acts a roll bar. I am not proposing drilling into that, but in a much larger, stronger, steel section than the surround which is ultimately the weak point.
Your thoughts please..
