Has anyone seen a motorsport style mirror for a 3dr?? The type like what was on the old Eggenberger Texaco Sierras?? Like a teardrop shape almost? Im hunting a set down...

Cheers

 

almost impossible to find m8

 

I will have a set too if you managed to find any

 

Ha... thanks guys. I thought I would check before I turned my hand to making a set. Im pretty confident they will come up good. Ive got it all sussed. just need to work out the actual mirror adjuster section.
Stay tuned...

Alright then fat fingers, what you got for a sapphire, Im sick of the elephant ears and just need something to pass an MOT but much narrower than original ones please As above style or Rally ESCOS/DTM, WHY

 

Vitaloni Californians? Sell these at work.

 

Ok... Oldie but like I said, thought I would turn my hand to making a set myself. Now I have seen some really impressive carbon work on PF and it has inspired me to get crackin'
Rather than make a one-off for each mirror I am making a positive to take a mould off. Then I can cast them up in carbon or glass and paint. I'll see what happens.


Started off like this...



No... its not a loaf of sour dough bread!! It is a lump of expandable foam I made up from a 2 part solution. Awesome stuff!!! The possiblities are endless!!! 100ml of this goo poured in a letterbox and by the time it sets in like 5 minutes its 15 times the size!!



This is a little avanced and misses out the shaping and filling stages. (I have missplaced the pics ) I have trying to take the mirror shape from the WRC cars. So smooth and clean!




Pics on the car. They are only tacked on with double sided tape for the pics at this stage and still require a little shaping on the back the fit the alloy back plate I have also made.



So there ya go. I have played with moulds and fibreglass a little before so I am not running totally blind!! See how they come out!
Stay tuned!

 

looks like fun

nicely done

 

Well done mate keep us updated !!!

They would look on my 3dr too !!!!!

 

good work, are 3dr mirrors anyway similar to sapphire items?

 

Looks great mate, impressed with the work thre, you've done well!

What Sparco steering wheel is that you've got? Is it Suede?

 

Thanks guys. They are coming along just nicely
Dan its a Sparco R353 suede wheel. Very nice feel to it and the flat bottom helps my legs get past it... I dont think they had 6"3's in mind when they designed the Sierra!!!

 

Cool, looks great, want something similar for the Saph really

Don't know what they had in mind when they designed the Sierra mate!

 

looks wicked mate fancy making me a set

 

Looks like this is gonna be quite a production!! Im still only casting up the mould but you guys are pushing me along faster!! Thanks... I need it!
I will get a few sets done and go from there. Im Down here in Aust but am more than happy to ship worldwide.

Thanks guys
Gav

 

If these will fit a Saph i would be very interested bud, looks spot on btw.

 

i'm very interested mate, so get your arse in gear and get them done

 

Up ski.

What's up Gav?

How are these coming along?
