side repeaters scuttle mounting ?

[wylliezx9r]

Hi guys,

I've also tried to post this on lcb but it do sent seem to be working..anyway

I've set my heart on mounting my repeaters on the scuttle as I hate the way they look on the front arches. I've heard of people getting failed at ia having them scuttle mounted. I've had a look at the manual and from what my untrained eye can gather the biggest obstical will be the rear arch getting in the way of the angle of visibility. So I've sort of concluded that if I mount the repeaters high enough up on the scuttle I shouldn't have an y problems? Or am I mis interpreting something?

Any ideas/thoughts welcome

Cheers Dan

There must be a set of mirrors out there with e marked indicators fitted that can be seen from the correct angle behind the car???

Didn't ashg pass his IVA with indicators mounted on his scuttle? Check out his photos.

i think the issue is where/what angles the indicators/repeaters can be seen from
its all in the iva manual

Have a look a Renault Modus mirrors,they a fairly large but lie flat on the door and have repeater in them too.

Hi Dan,

I too wanted to fit the repeaters on the scuttle & like yourself had heard some 7 style cars were failing IVA having them fitted there.............I also don,t like the look of them fitted on the front cycle wings.

so

I,ve fitted mine on the forward leading edge ( they need to be within 2.6mtrs from the front of the car or there abouts, dims are in the IVA manual )of the rear wings, I admit, this wouldn,t be my first choice of position but it WILL ensure they won,t fail that part of the IVA test.

When i first fitted them I thought they looked a bit naff but now i,m used to them you actually can,t really notice them.

just a thought

cheers

Thanks for that Andy,

I'll have a look at that tomorrow, must admit though im swaying toward having them part of the mirrors. Just gotta find the rite ones, I know somebody has mentioned m and p as a supplier but im pretty sure their place down in Swansea burnt down recently

Most motorcycles have them fitted so maybe worth a scan around a bike shop to see how they would mount and if they tickle your fancy. GSXR ones are not bad.

I've been looking for bike mirrors but most of them are not visible from the required rear angle the only ones I have found that look suitable are these

and they look as though the indicators are visible from behind.
