Caterham-SPA Mirror Adaptors

The Problem.

Caterham’s mirrors are terrible. Seriously. They’re enormous and because they’re not convex, you can’t see anything. The original Eccles mounts are only attached at the hinge so are prone to shaking because of the leverage on the 10cm long part.

My solution

These adaptors are a simple solution to allow a convex SPA mirror to be fitted in the original holes of the Caterham mirrors. they use a brass insert to give a strong anchor and the front bolt goes all the way through.

How do they compare to my articulated mounts?

they’re less than half the price of my articulated mirror mounts and just use the original holes, so no drilling needed! They attach nice and tightly. I think the articulated ones are a little stiffer, but I doubt there’s a lot in it. The original Caterham hinges allow the doors to open too far so that the mirrors are constantly hitting the screen and so I can include a set of Hinge

How much are they?
