> Ok Walt i wanted to know about these mirrors you make and why would i > want them on my car? How convenient of you to volunteer as a shill. ;-) I think you should have convex mirrors on your DeLorean because it makes it safer to drive. I think it has been a rule for several years now that all cars sold in the US must have a convex mirror on the passenger side of the car. Many cars made for Europe also have convex mirrors on the driver's side or a combination of part flat/part convex. I have convex mirrors on both sides of my DeLorean, and the visibility is great! Without looking over my shoulder, the continuity of view is seamless between my rearview mirror and convex passenger side mirror. There no longer is a blind spot, and this is a DeLorean! The type of convex mirror I am using gives the same type of view as you would see in the passenger side mirror of any newer model car. The only exception is that my mirrors are missing that stupid "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" message. But if you need to be constantly reminded this way then you probably shouldn't be driving a car anyways let alone be allowed in public unsupervised. I plan to offer these mirrors either individually or in pairs for passenger and drivers side in either convex or flat glass. Flat glass has been fairly easy to shape by hand, but I am having too much breakage cutting the convex glass. When I get caught up on other projects, (and when Kayo Ong sends me back my patterns!) I'm going to try another idea for cutting the glass that is sure to work. It's just a matter of setting up the equipment to make the first few mirrors this way and see if it actually works. If I cannot afford to sell these mirrors for $45 each or less then I'm only going to be making them as special favors. The old way takes about 1.5 hours per mirror, and this gets rather monotonous for a hobby. Meanwhile, can I interest you in a pair of Inconel 718 trailing arm bolts? A pair is $46 plus shipping (& gratuity which is optional.) Otherwise I'm selling them at cost. Walt Yahoo!
