Side view mirror
Getting ready to navigate the CT inspection and registration process. Apparently two mirrors are required. I have a dash mounted rear view, so I guess I need something else.
I could try to get away with sticking a round mirror on the driver's wind wing...might work. As for the Raydot mirrors such as those sold by Finish Line, how do they attach to the windshield frame? Sheet metal screws? Do you have to take the frame off the glass to install them? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Incidentally, for the two weeks I've been blasting around illegally, I haven't needed any stinkin' mirrors...:LOL: |
My Raydot uses the existing screws in windshield frame. Did not have to remove glass. Very simple.

Phil,
Call David. They make a Raydyot mirror bracket that bolts to the windshield frame. If you need a second mirror and don't want to mount it to the body, then that's the only way to go. |
Thanks for the replies. I should've guessed that KMS has a bracket, billet I'm sure. I wonder if they'll make me a billet sunglasses frame....

There are a couple of other options using existing windscreen post holes.

Check out the mirrors from DREAMCAR Company. I put them on my Backdraft and I love them.

I used some sheet aluminum to make mounts for my bullet side mirrors, mounting them under the wind wing mounts. I had some longer 5 mm stainless steel screws from my cycling tool kit, and they worked perfectly - though they clearly don't match the other fasteners.
Once I did that I found the mirrors interfered with the wind wings which, in turn, interfered with the top of the doors. The driver side mirror has 2 spacers - one 1/2" thick and the other 3/16". The passenger side mirror only has a 1/2" spacer. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...rror_Mount.jpg http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...tal_Spacer.jpg |
I don't see a big problem here. Just mount the proper mirror in the proper spot on the body.

I purchased a pair of mirrors from Dreamcar Company. https://www.thedreamcarcompany.com/store.html
Terry responded immediately that he had material supply issues and was waiting for billet aluminum to arrive, and he kept me fully in the loop throughout. When the mirrors arrived they looked great. The instructions were good, but because of the way my wind wings had been installed by a previous owner I couldn't follow the instructions as written and just swap the wind wings from passenger side to driver side. I had to completely diassemble the mounting blocks and wind wing brackets and then reassemble in a different fashion. The photos were extremely helpful as they showed clearly what the finished product would look like. When it was all done the mirrors fit perfectly and I'm ecstatic about their fit, finish and function. Terry at DreamCar Co. was very helpful and was very prompt in responding to emails. One of the best supplier experiences I've had in a long time. Highly recommended - both for the product but especially the service. |
