Brooklands screen and mirror attachment method?

Recommended Posts

I am building myself a set of Brooklands aeroscreens on a stanchion and need some guidance on attaching the various parts – side mirrors and screen mounts – to the stanchion prior to bolting the complete assembly on to the scuttle.

The screen mounts come with screw holes (but no screws or bolts) and the many mirror options I have seen all have long base bolts that I think would protrude too far into the stanchion and impact on the scuttle underneath.

Could anyone who has taken this path before me share some advice on what the best method is (and where to source the 'missing' parts) for attaching the screens and side mirrors securely to the stanchion,

many thanks

Oh the joys of formatted text. Here it is again:

Yes, countersink the underside of the stanchion band and finish off with a nice dome head nut. Only issue is that some mirrors need rear access to the baseplate for the clamp on the mirror stem - you simply need to drill this access hole in the stanchion and adjust the mirror before fitting the stanchion to the car.
