Re: Late Ruby overtaking mirror fixing

Thanks again

Re: Late Ruby overtaking mirror fixing

Not wanting to rob Willie of a sale but the unit shown was from Paul Beck vintage supplies, just chucked the mounting and made a small adaption to the pull bolt.

Re: Late Ruby overtaking mirror fixing

Just a very slight point of detail. I have always lusted after the door hinge as described for a side mirror. I have a couple of clamp type mirrors on the hinges currently. This is on a MkII Pearl. Oddly, I have never seen the hinge with a boss for a mirror on a late Pearl - early, yes, but never on a MkII. I wonder whether this was a specific design change or just coincidence. If anyone has such a hinge spare, I'd be really interested in the possibility of acquiring it..

Re: Late Ruby overtaking mirror fixing

Thanks for the suggestion Derek , but looked at Paul Becks site (very similar to 7 workshop one ) but could not see any of the type I wanted listed , collected one from Willie this afternoon , but as the barrel was for his own design fixing it was a bit oversize for my hinge fitment , 2 minutes on the Myford and it fitted a treat.

Glad that you got it sorted
