Barrie, a superb offer, I might well take you up on that, it might be for 2 though, Robinbastd wants to come along too (plus I need him as support
wagon, I have an impressive SVA first aid kit brewing!)

Billy,
Don't fret about markings - just find one that's big enough, and has nice rounded edges.
I made mine from bits of a standard car mirror, but you may not have time to do that - I'm sure that someone on here will tell you of a saloon
mirror that'll do the job.
rgds,
David

Sierra one should do it.
Drill the bottom where the sticky pad goes and screw it to the top of the scuttle with a reinforcing plate on the other side or block off the gap in
the roll bar so you can't see back through it then you don't need one. Vans with solid back doors don't have one.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
