Fitted

- April 3 -

Fitted the mirrors this morning. Yonks ago I bought some GSXR mirrors off eBay, and when I sat down inside the car and held them up, I found that they sit quite well on the upper longitudinal bars of the roll-cage (albeit upside down and on the wrong side (fortunately it seems that mirrors don't invert the image when you turn them upside down )). So I welded on some plates, drilled and tapped some holes, and in 2 shakes of a lambs tail had side mirrors.

Then the centre mirror. Again, by mounting it upside down (this is a standard Sierra mirros I think, which I purloined off DH2) I found it sat quite well. More plating, welding, drilling and tapping, and that was down too. Super!
