Any new ideas to this problem.
I ordered the convex mirror from Performance Unlimited and it's a little bigger diameter than sideview mirror on the SPF. It will work but it's not the best looking.

Any other ideas?

Smile hide it

I have made a couple of badges to cover the holes left when we moved the mirrow. I used stainless and bend it to fit the curved fender. Polished it and had a local knife store to engrave it (acid etch). I used doubleback tape to attach it to the fender. I have made several mirrow mounts for the windshield. Thin stainless, cut, shape and polish. I use the same mirrow that was on the fender.

Default Cobra mirrors

Mirrors have always been a problem on Cobras. If you'll go to BRE2.net you'll see the proper solution. Badger

If you decide to replace the mirror, look at one of these. I use the 4" model, and it works great.
