Not Ranked
I too can vouch for the first type posted. It is discrete and easily mounted. Visability is quite good and it is stable. Easily constructed from 1/4" aluminum bar stock that is the width of the mirror base. Notice (visable on the unpainted Kirkham) the back side that faces the windshield support is relieved about .080" so it provides stability in 2 planes. This is easily done in a Vertical Mill by any machinist. If you choose this type it uses only one screw that originally held the support to the windshield frame. Use a new screw that is lengthened by the amount of the finished thicknes of the attaching tab after machining. Measure the original screw and the tab thickness carefully and your windshield will survive. Cheap, clean and easy.
