graearea Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) So did Gavin Hobbs of the carrotland parish, he asked me to come up with something and here we are (excuse the mismatched Ti bolts, I've been experimenting loads): here it is in action: the Hinges are new versions of the ones I sell with my caterham-spa adapters. they limit the sidescreen opening and then accept the quick swap adapters directly. as you can see, with a spare set of mirrors, it's a 2 minute job to switch from sidescreens to no sidescreens. if you want to reuse the spa mirrors, it's about a 10 minute job. they're available in spa or motamec fitting (as usual, I recommend spa as they're more convex) the adapters come with all bolts needed, a pair of hinges and a pair of double captive nuts which mean that there's no fiddling with an 8mm spanner. just a 3mm hex. if you already bought some of my hinges, I'll replace them for free with the new ones and so you'll get a discount. price is 35quid delivered for more info and to order, goto the page in my signature 😄 as usual, all profits to be spent on alcohol and Super Unleaded Edited February 29 by graearea 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graearea Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 this has been a bit of a marathon. turns out I figured out how to make brackets for the sidescreens that take the adapters. this means you can use the same mirrors attached to the adapter with minimum fuss switching between sidescreen and windscreen. I'm gonna test them this week at Bedford trackday and then add them to my offerings. pictures will follow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bahf Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Looking forward to hearing how they performed as I may need a solution by the end of the month. Fingers crossed 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graearea Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 (edited) here we go. move spa/motamec mirrors from sidescreens to windscreen with only a 3mm hex key in under 2 minutes. I'll update my product page shortly no fiddling with bolts and washers. Edited March 12 by graearea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindrod Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Although I have not been out in 7 ( off road due to weather ) I have bought this kit ( along with shims for fitting mirrors to my aero screen ) . It is of very good quality . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
