SLR Cage - Fitting Wing Mirrors

[MikeE]

I've finally got around to fitting my SLR cage this weekend, looks good but it's now a b@gger trying to get in an out

 

anyway, I've had to remove the carbon mirrors from the aeroscreen and need to mount them on the cage somehow. I'd like to reuse the existing carbon mirrors (without modifying them) which have the usual two bolt mounting bracket. Question is where can I get a couple of ('U' ?) brackets to fit around the cage and allow me to mount the mirrors without modifying them 🤔

 

cheers

Exhaust mounting brackets from Unipart do the trick apparently.

Slot some sort of foam between the U-clamp and the cage for a better grip and less paint damage.

Exhaust U clamps

I have sprayed mine in satin black and put black gaffer tape on the cage. Works v well. No vibration and you see a heck of a lot more as you can mount them higher.

You will eventually become used to the antics of getting in and out. A removable steering wheel is part of the key. If you don’t have carpets i.e. bare aluminium floor, go to your local skate shop and buy some skateboard deck non-slip tape and stick on the floor close to the seat squab. This really helps you get out and does not interfere with your feet movements for the pedals.

like the rest of my car mine are cable tied on 😳

 

but I also put some padding between the cage and mirror, which was in fact some heater hose split down the middle 😳
