I need a mint 2nd one for my 1974 Lotus Elite.

OR does anyone reconise them as standard fitment.

Can e-mail someone a good pic if they can post it for me?

I think I do! I'll post up a picture after tea.

 

Edit- just had a look. It's branded Geco not Raydot, though it looks the same, and it's not mint. The stainless head is ok but there's a bit of pitting on the base.

Looks very similar to the CIPA ones I have on my 604

just realised that the arm comes out of the other end of the mounting base so not similar at all

 

these guys have an amazing range of mirrors

Cheers chaps,that mirror company do have loads of great items but can,t see one the same as mine.

Someone has said its a Raydyot DM100,theres another on E-bay but the pic is terrible and i,am waiting for more info.

Will keep looking,can,t be that rare?

Thinking about a trip to Sipson car spares as Howard has loads of things like this.

Mine sprouts from a different position again, is a completely different shape and scruffier than I remember, sorry to get your hopes up.

i bet the head from a French CIPA style mirror would fit on the Raydyot base / arm

 

if/when the swivel head drops inside the mirror head it is a bugger to get the thread sticking out again, but can be done

last time I did it by making a loop in a piece of cotton thread and getting it over the end of the thread and then pull to tighten and pull out.

Next time I remove the head from the arm of one of these I'll tie cotton on it before I start
