Trick mirror indicators...
 
Got a new set of mirror / indicators today from J & S

Halfway through fitting them, managed to use all the original bolts & rubber gaskets + found a neat way of routing the wiring (only had to drill 1 hole in the top fairing), which fits behind the fairing so looks original (even if I say so maself)! 8)

Mirror backs are carbon look with the indicator inset (smoked amber and kinda fades to clear) and actual mirror glass is about the same size as the originals.

Will post some piccies and/or instructions if anybody is interested

If not then I'll get me coat !

On the plus side, it looks like an X-wing.

How much rear view vision have you got compared to the original mirrors (which you can only see shoulders :evil: )???

Plus, how bright are the bulbs in the mirrors? Can they be seen by the cage and wagon drivers from a distance??

But then, putting trick mirrors on and using the extenders would be a wee bit counterproductive I think- they're very effective, but quite unattractive.

Plus, Jimmy always wears an absurdly massive old textile jacket with shoulders like an American footballers :)
