Inside Rearview Mirror for Series 2A

ObiWanKenobi · Jul 17, 2018

My Rover has no interior rear-view mirror, and one is not required in my state. I do like having one, however. Does anyone know exactly where and how to mount an interior mirror for a Series IIA? I'm assuming I can buy one from a supplier here in US, but I don't mind ordering from UK if I must.

Thanks, all!

There about a tenner over ear. Goodness knows how much the postage would be.
All the suppliers have them.

They are held in place with two screws into the roof area just above the centre of the windscreen. The holes should be there even if the mirror isn't.

I've just removed mine which was mounted on the valance. Stripping it out to convert to canvas. Got the old one. On the series 3 I can't see mounting holes on the header.

Optional parts catalogue list a few versions for different export markets all but 1 are series 3 though.

I mounted mine today on a strip of reinforced rubber which I superglued to header plate. I then screwed the mirror onto the rubber

Thanks all ! I ordered the mirror and mounting bracket from Rovers North (Vermont USA). Will let you know how it goes.

I like the rubber idea, may try that. mine is rigidly mounted and vibrates at certain speeds.

I thought my mirror was vibrating so I damped its mounting, no better, turns out it's my head that's vibrating.

I spent a lot of time trying to damp the mirrors on a Harley Sportster, in the end all that happens is that you shift the resonant frequency up or down but never stop the vibration. If you can get it out of the range where you are looking in the mirrow that's a success!

My makeshift solution seems to work okay. Used Gorilla epoxy adhesive and one of the reinforced rubber connections for the exhaust hangers. It vibrated a little until I jammed a rubber tap washer between the mirror stalk and the windscreen split, works a treat. When the canvas rear cover is down it's pretty difficult to see through the plastic window despite cleaning its a bit murky. Learning to use side mirrors!

I, too, bolted directly to the windscreen and then placed a bit of rubber between the stalk and split in the windscreen - problem eliminated.

Used a couple of 6mm studded resilient mounts of ebay for mine , miniture engine mountings.
