One of the last jobs for this winters upgrade is mirrors and Brooklands Aeroscreens, just the job to finish the car off. The mirror choice was a bit tortuous I wanted something that did not look out of place but practical as well. I settled on mirrors from a MKII Land rover. I made a threaded reinforcing plate for below each mirror stalk.
Brookland Aeroscreens
The outside fixing of the aero screens had to have a spacer to make them look true and level with respect to the scuttle. The centre adjusters were replaced with a washer and a domed nut and lock nut to mount them closer together.

Spacer added to outer fixings |

Mounted closer than design intended |

From outside, spacer gives better appearance |

Hi - Just found your blog on aeros. How did you make the spacer for the outside of the aero and shape the base to fit the curves? I guess you may have a lathe - I don't. Cheers, Andrew
