Reverse camera for a mini van...

 

Where do you get those?

 

Its called a peep mirror usually mounted off a gutter..its now mounted through the window latch via a custom made mount..readily available if you do a search 'peep mirror'..

I like the interior "reverse camera" (just got that :huh: ) as well, where's that from may I ask?

 

The vans looking real nice now but we need to see some photos of the it out in the sunshine to see it in all its glory!

Thanks I hope to venture out over the weekend but the weather is looking dodgy but keen to get about and see it in different locations..mirror wise if you search 'peep mirror' on the web it will give you plenty of options..you are in the US I think ?...plenty of rod shops will have them... :-)

It was your interior sliding mirror on the rod that I was asking about, I'm looking for something similar for a non mini project. Cheers.

 

(p.s I'm in good old Blightly not the US, though wish I was most of the time, but not right now with this plague like situation going on!)

Arhhh... not sure why I thought you are in the big apple ?...The interior mirror is all homemade..you can get similar from early MG's and jaguars...They are also available to buy from Japan but not cheap...

Pretty easy to make if you fancy doing your own...

Well done on the MOT! It's looks perfect, plenty of inspiration for mine! Hopefully I'll see it in the flesh some day.

Thanks I hope it helps you with yours although I'm sure you will have no trouble making it something special..
