Title: Mirrors
Post by: Thor069 on 27, March, 2012 - 12:30:21
Hello to All.

Give there any other solution for Mirrors for the Sinclair C5 than the original.
I find the position of these original mirrors a little deep and also I haven’t them.
There are a lot o bike and Motor-bike equipment?

Best regards.

Thorsten

Just been looking on ebay at a few bike white wing mirrors that have the indicators built in, got me thinking of that idea now.

If anyone is willing to lend me a pair of original mirrors I'll happily make them a set with indicators built in!

Material cost is around the 30 mark for the first few pulls but my time costs nothing to the lender!  ;)

And I'm located in Eggborough near Doncaster.

Hi Fessa_RS,

I live in north Leeds,work in Kirkstall.your routes around Eggborough seem good & quiet, and is just a short jaunt down the M62 unles anyone has a better notion.
Do you have a vacuum forming company? I may need 6 large discs quoting for in near future, that's if the drawings ever turn up!

No the Vacuum forming is a hobby as I'm also into R/C cars. My set up isn't huge its just big enough for the c5 wheel covers. If I ever get the inclination I'll build a larger set up! I used to work in Armley at Just car clinic so also know Leeds pretty well! Bit up and down round there not brill for the C5 lol I'll try plan a route around hear then and post it in the meetings bit!
