newest interior mirror mod

[donnyonee]

the problem is being impaled in a accident.
does anyone know Vlad the Impaler personally?
unfortunately i dropped it and now ill be doing the 3rd one.
i was able to drill a hole in my headliner in the wrong spot too.
thats what r&d is.
quality isnt cheap.
with no responsibility whatsoever.



ill post a finished picture tomorrow.
comments?

ok heres a comment, how about a small hole drilled thru the shaft just under the nut when installed to be the breakaway point?
anyone?

I've met him a few times, socially. At first he seems a bit abrasive, but I gradually warmed up to him.

How much do you expect to see using a dental mirror?
OK for checking your fillings at red lights but probably not too good for seeing out the back of the car.

If he can see the teeth on the guy following him, that car is way too close.

ouch :-)

instructions;
to view conditions with small mirror, tape off your exsisting mirror so that you have 1 1/4" opening. thats what you'll see.
to me the stock mirror is to large and blocks too much view, i dont mind the side mirrors with the small convex spots but something out the back would be nicer than nothing and this doesnt hinder frontal viewing.

and if your dentist is using a inspection mirror that big? wow!

Call me crazy, but I have to agree that the stock mirror is larger than it needs to be. At least a third of it is occupied by a view of my seat backs.

[donnyonee]

try it, tape your mirror but also dont forget that the tape will now be prime front viewing area. this mod is mostly good for larger drivers such as myself that remove the mirror.

Personally I think he might be on to something. He's got the ball, let him run. I would like to see final pictures when he's done.

I still think you are better off with something like this.



Takes seconds to fit, no drilling required and won't suffer from vibration.

[donnyonee]

personally i dont care for the looks of the 450 mirror in my 451. althou it is a good idea for some. and most likely wont fit because of my racing g force meter.
heres my next pic. the field of vision does look small, thats my camera lens in the mirror. i have not tried it for viewing/using or vibration yet. i might be driving to pepboys for a 2" convex mirror. does anyone know of a smaller convex?
