Then, once the fibreglass parts are bonded, I will buy some 8mm threaded rod, drill through the fibreglass and fit as below,

Hi guys, sorry I haven't posted any updates lately, but just haven't done anything (literally!!)
Trying to shake this damn cold off and get my mojo back lol

Anyway, a big Thank You to Paul79 who told me about a set of replica stradale mirrors for sale on DNAOC website, and thanks to Matt for selling them to me, I am much happier with this option.

Door Windows:

Right, after f##<^** about with the passenger one for half the day, I have decided that trying to fit a square plug in a round hole, it would help if the windows were the correct shape to start with!!!!
As you all know, the angle on the B pillar is now further in at the top, so it stands to reason that our windows from extreme would be slightly more curved than the original pug one??
I laid my perspex on top of the pug window and lo and behold, the perspex is miles out!
I am going to attempt to induce more curvature, but if this fails will have to get some made locally, I just could not move the bottom of the window guide rail through the outer skin of the door to make it fit, plus the perspex is too thick to run up the front guide rail

JD, believe me, you would not have wanted to try this at home lol

Cheers

We also cut 20mm off the back edge of the window up to approx 6" in height, as this was fouling on rear door lock panel. We then double bent the scissor arms and removed the lock to save damaging the window, will refit lock after and test. The following pictures show the gaps around the window....not too bad.
