Not Ranked
1/4" rod may be fine to hold the windscreen in compression, but it would not be great for the triangulation that I want to do. I'm starting with 1/2" as the test. Later I'll machine the shaft down after I've located the mirror at the optimum height for me. Then I can see what minimum diameter shaft will finally work. For now the plan in in the works.
I don't think that a 1/2" shaft will block the visuals too much. But we'll see.
