IIRC this is the mirror bit - http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p3242/GT-MIRROR-... but worth checking the dimensions etc. The stalk is all Radical unless someone else knows different

It was this one on my SR4, not sure how it is different to Rob's one but different part numbers. Keep the stem tube that the mirror bolts on to from your existing one as the one supplied will be curved. SPA don't seem to sell the straight tube as standard as far as I could see.

Or go direct to Radical and pay twice the price for the same part with a straight tube....

If I recollect correctly, Spa Design have their own very comprehensive website, complete with all the dimensions. Like Nick says, I think it's usually convex rather than flat - handy for best seeing all those PR06s approaching rapidly from behind.

The straight up tube is Radical's own (and a mighty fine arm it is too), but I doubt you need to replace that as a whoops squeeze past incident.

BTW, there are cheaper places to get these (and quite a lot of other things) than MM.

I was just making an observation: I'm with Rob on this .......... happy to pay a modest premium to someone who usually has the things in stock and is relatively just down the road. Especially, someone who knows your face and treats you properly like every good Customer should be.

Speaking of which ........... I have just popped in to Somerfield to buy two brace of Ginsters (that counts as pies for a Radical Bloke, so that's OK - I'm only having the two for lunch today) and there were two mature ladies on the till chattering away; one doing nothing else, the other dealing with those annoying Customers. I stood there and had to listen to a load of utter tripe about Teddys, Coronation Street etc, then paid (btw, no thank you) and stood there. Finally, the drivel stopped and I was asked "Is there something else", to which I replied "As it's peeing down outside and four Ginsters are not particularly easy to balance underneath my fleece, howzabout a bag please?" And they wonder why Somerfield is one of the least successful supermarkets?

So good on MM.

Currently enjoying un sejour en France. But I have a vague recollection of seeing some in a grubby old box of grubby old Radical bits. When I return I'll see if I can find both the box and the bits and will let you know.

A bientot mon brave.

Not sure if it's the same as the SR3 but mine are racetech mirror heads with the long mirror stems from big R.
