Hi Phil,
I, too, have Enzo magnetic mirrors but anyone purchasing same, be aware that there are now 2 lengths of top arm which controls the angle of the main mirror carrying arms with respect to the ground. This controls/effects the distance out from the vehicle centreline of the mirror hence how far out and behind your van you can see.
To overcome the small problem of mirror vibration allowed by the "spade" or "tongue" on the inner end of the top arm 'rattling' in the gap between window glass and door, I purchased a single knuckle magnetic base from F Terzzi (Ora Products) and cut the flattened end off the top arm then fitted the single magnetic base.
The revised mounting holds the mirror far more securely, gets the mirror further outboard and give me a better view of what is behind me and trying to overtake.
(Yes, I suppose somebody will point out thay my resulting "wing span" probably exceeds the legal maximum allowable but I prefer to see clearly what is comming!).
I will try to post some pics on the
BOG website but if they don get there then anybody contemplating a similar scheme is welcome to email us and i can reply with a set of pics.
Good travels and cheers from
Martin Bunny
