You have any ready yet?

Yep, still messing with the prototypes. Its the angled protusions that the rado mirrors bolt on with that are a pain. I also may have to go over to gettin a casting made for them as there are so many processes involved with the shaping, tapping etc.
If people want them as just flat adaptors where you grind the bottom protusions of the mirror off flat, slightly grind the base and drill the holes larger it would be done! But remember Corrado mirrors range from £25-£75 now so would you want to adapt them, esp if you want to resell them later?
The whole point to me of the adaptors is that you dont modify your door or your new mirrors in case you want to go back to bigger mirrors.
Thanx for your patience chaps... Ever started something ya wish ya hadnt?

Sorry to hassle you. It takes as long as it takes I/We do appreciate what you are doing.
I have the switch and wiring sorted now and can't wait to get rid of that floppy nearside mirror.

Take it off and nip up the 10MM nut in the base of the mirror mount.. its not corrado mirrors but at least it means you can see behind you for more than ten minuites!

Won't be too expensive - promise! If they start looking like going that way i'll tell everyone and admit defeat!!

Bit too late for that! Been nipped up too much in the past Even the superglue has given up the fight.

I have seen some pictures of your van with the mirrors on. How are they? Do you get to see much out of them, any blind spots?

any updates on the adapter front?

Trying a new technique, are people prewpared to drill out the original bolt holes to a vertical position? And if the chap doing this for don't speed up i'm gonna get someone else...

don't see why not if it makes things easier...
no rush though mate - i've got plenty of other jobs to to do while i wait!

i want a pair of these please ring me 07759127432 cheers dude

Right FINALLY the engineer has the latest (mk3) prototype ready! Fitting tomoro, apologies but you know how it is he is near retired (he's 70!) family friend that dont work much but he's one of the best i know, and they havent been the easiest thing to get to fit. As i said we were trying to get it so that mirrors n vans dont get damaged with the mirrors getting up to £70 a pair at times it's better if they are peferct adaptor.
So thanx for the patience chaps if these work then it'll be all systems go!
