Especially when you don't have any mirrors

But more to the point I've had a couple of near misses with impatient drivers overtaking me when I'm turning

An original "T" would have had a windscreen or door mounted mirror, hard when you don't have either

So I bought a 1950's mirror with an integral parking light, which nicely matches the existing rear lights a while ago on E Gay, always buying bits and pieces if the price is right

Anyway after weeks of searching on and off line I found a suitable hollow fixing bolt (light fitting from B&Q) :

Had to re-wire it and fit a 6v bulb :

Certainly not pristine but well loved

Finally found time today to go and fit it :

Not wired in yet, we''ll do that another day

Yep, that fits nicely

I'd make up a DuVall screen for it and be done.

That screen you've got looks like a shaving mirror that's lost its film - the worst feature of the car, IMO.

The mirror does fit well, though.

Finally found time to wire the mirror light into the side light circuit today, was dam cold though

Another thing the Model T doesn't have are any fuses, simple it either works or burns
