I have seen F1 mirrors fitted to one or two Mini's over the years and want to put some on mine....

Just wondering if anyone has got them on their Mini's?
If people have made up the mounting plates for them?
And where people bought them from?

Cheers

Yeah Ive seen that but i dont want to drill right through the door.... Im gonna make up a plate so I can use the 2 original holes in the doors.

Thanks for your help

I think a few people on here would be interested in buying a plate to secure the mirrors using std mini spacing and bolts, if you made a few....

Yeah I Mean Basically All You Need Is A Small Rounded Off Plate With A Couple Of Clearence Holes In, With A Threaded Collar Welded Onto It, Tart It Up A Bit. And TADA!

why would you need a threaded collar?... the Inserts on std mini doors are threaded, the mirrors will be pulled flush onto the door like they normally are... the trick bit would be sinking the plate into the mirror so it doesn't act like a fuggin big spacer
