Quick, Cheap, & Easy Mirror Install

[Underdog57]

Bought some relatively cheap golf cart mirrors and some magnets from CMS magnetics. I didn't want something sticking out too far or too high.

Looks good . Well done . :thumbsup:

I have a pair of utv mirrors that I am going to mount with some magnets in the same spot on my loader.
Procrastination may have gotten in the way .

Looks good. Are you relying solely on the magnets or have you used an adhesive?

I ask because simple diesel engine vibration would cause the magnets to shift over time.

If the mirrors vibrate they will be worse than useless! Found that out with my Mule!

I wholly agree. When attaching anything to my tractor (mirror/fire extinguisher/light bar) I've always included a rubber gasket to eliminate overt vibration.

Let us know how they work for you, and where you got the mirrors. I've been wanting mirrors on my R4047 for a while.

They are pretty strong magnets (88 lb. Holding power each) I also bought some stronger ones (112 lb. Holding power each) if the smaller ones don't work. I'll let you know!

I think I got them either on eBay or Amazon, can't remember, was a few years ago.

I bought RARE earth magnest off E-Bay, Rubber Coated, threaded fastener, to hold a strobe light on a roof. They got the old large regular magnets beat all to heck for holding and a smaller size too.
