Default Home made mirrors
Hey saw where some guys are making thier own mirrors for when the doors are off, I got these primed, took 'em for a road test for vibration, did great, now time to paint 'em. To buy them retail about $140.00, made these for $35
I made them out of 1/2 stainless steel rods, 7/16" bolts and mirrors from Advance Auto.

I use bicycle mirrors when the doors are off, they are the same thread as the torx bolts on the windshield corners. remove one bolt spin the mirrors on and presto. $ 9.50 at Canadian Tire. will try and post a picture soon.
