Mirrors

The mirrors were fitted last weekend. The centre mirror from cbs uses three M4 screws to attach through the scuttle, I used some stainless cap heads. The side mirrors are fixed to the scuttle through a single 8mm hole each side. When running the engine, I noticed the side mirrors wobbled quite a bit. To try and improve this, I drilled an 8mm hole into a small square of aluminium plate, about 1mm thick, and this was then bonded to the inside of the scuttle with tigerseal inline with the existing 8mm hole. The result is mirrors which are a lot more rigid.
