Cab mirror [ Engineer42's fault ]

[JerryK]

Due to Engineer42 posting about his rear view mirror, and him planting a seed into my pea sized brain... I just finished putting mine in. So, blame him, not me... if you can't sleep at night.
I bought the mirror on Ebay [ you can get them on Amazon, too. search for CHUPACABRA mirror ] and then made some brackets for it out of aluminum. I screwed the brackets on using Stabilicer [ Stabil Icer strap on ice cleats, the hardened replacement screws for same ] screws because they were short, stubby, and made for rubber or plastic with a coarse thread. Drilling the holes was a hoot, knowing about all the expensive coils and things located just behind the headliner. I drilled carefully, and only found one hole on the bottom left that I was concerned about a spaced it out with a 1/8" plastic washer to add more clearance to what ever was back there. Also a picture of my voltage monitor I have on all my equipment [ Motorcycle ATV Universal Waterproof LED Battery Voltage Meter Indicator Pad 12V | eBay ] to make sure my fan belt is not slipping some whilst snowblowing. And a picture of the right pillar mode where my switches are. Life is GOOD...!!!!

Lol, yeah that’s my fault. I’m sure you had already pondered a mirror for that spot. Looks good. I like the rockers too.

Yes, but it sure feels better when you look at your credit card bill if you can push the blame elsewhere. But I appreciate the great idea about the Chupacabra mirror. I was looking at others but this one gives you a more panoramic view..

I can understand that. I hate spending money myself but figured this is a good $25 investment if it keeps me from tapping something. Mine isn’t Chupacabra brand, but works well.
