Fitting wing mirrors to a GT6


Acole

Recommended Posts

My GT6 Mk2 had bonnet mounted bullet mirrors when I bought it back in 1977. They were sort of useable (I think) but when we rebuilt the car on 2010/11 using a new bonnet I couldn't bring myself to fit them , even though I had new units ready and waiting.

I used a clip on mirror for a couple of years but got fed up with it falling off, despite multiple attempts at 'improvements' to the fixings and it was started to look a bit dented and tatty.

In the end I decided to use a fixed door mirror and found an Ital design which I think really suits the car. Positioning is fairly critical to get the required visibility as the head angles are limited and you have to be careful to avoid the swing of the quarter-light. Internal access is OK in this location, but it does still need two scary holes. Couple of pics attached.
