The existing screw holes. Tell Bob to give you two screws too.
Dan-it's exactly as I told you; could not be easier.
Source all parts for your ERA, FROM ERA-everything fits that way-no hardware chases.

If I don't have to drill the frame it sounds like a winner to me. I wasn't aware ERA offered a mount for the windshield prior to this. Anyone need a fender mount mirror?

Thanks

I'll post a follow up after I'm done fitting them. Check out the video they have posted on their site showing how the mirror functions.

As promised in the above quote. The mirrors arrived and these are spectacular! The fit was perfect and I'm THRILLED as to how well these Fit, look and work.

Terry at DreamCar Co. was most helpful before I made the purchase and answered my email questions promptly. Shipped my order immediately and everything arrived well packed, including a good selection of extra stainless steel hardware giving you a couple of options as to how you may want to install them.

I'm not able to drive my car right now to do the ultimate test, but I'm sure these will perform as seen in his video.

It is so good when you get something that exceeds your expectations.

I'm happy to recommend this product.

Don't look back!

A french "hand made" solution for the two side mirors of my SPF.

Very easy to obtain.
It just needs to twist a flat angle bracket, to make the angles round by filling them, to drill the necessary holes, and to chrome the result.
The mirors are the originals from SPF, without using the legs.

Ordered the aluminum die cast hex nut from MSC and the wide angle glass convex replacement glass, which are designed to fit the Raydyot mirrors, from Tex Automotive in the UK. This set-up has worked very well for me while I wait for Mickmate to officially launch his mirror brackets. Yes Nick - that is a hint...

Could you please help with a link for the "aluminum die cast hex nut from MSC"
THANKS:)

So what are the suggestions for the holes that are left in the fender from the old mount location?
