Split Screen Screw on Mirror

Post by Athena »

My 55 with split screen needs a new mirror, the backing has perished and it's more a window than a mirror. It bolts / screws directly into the splitter between the two windscreen glasses. It's about 120mm x 50mm. The mechanism is serviceable. Does anyone have one hiding away in a dusty box. Or have you found a workaround using the mechanism. Thanks Trevor

I used them to get replacement Convex Mirrors to fit my car's flat glass Wing Mirrors. Excellent service.

My 55 with split screen needs a new mirror,
Hi,
I bought one of these, I too have simply removed the mount and used my original, repainted, series 2 one.
A new mirror and a bit of bling at the same time. :D

I did include a bit of thin rubber wrapped around the ball on the mount and tightened the clamp up over the top, to help with any vibration when being driven.
Best wishes,
Mike.
