Most motor shops sell what you are looking for. Be careful where you mount that mirror as most of the stick on mirrors are pretty large and will give a big blindspot,

Didn't you watch the cannon ball run?

As he snaps off the mirror and say's "What's behind me is not important" (or something like that).

Loctite make a one shot mirror adhesive kit. It comes with a cleaning/priming solution and tube of special adhesive. About $10 from memory. Should be available at your local auto parts store.

Cheers

Mike

Sorry Mike, that movie was actually the Gumball Rally! The person saying this phrase was the late Raul Julia!

Hey Flip, did your mirror fall off? if so why don't you go with the dashmount instead?

Just a thought!

Thanks for setting me straight. I've got to get those movies out and watch them again.

Cheers

Flip, I've been using a Raydot for my dash mirror and like it pretty well. Finishline sells a slick mounting plate that puts the mirror in a good position and I think, looks good. If you go that route, use some sort of rubber dampener between the base of the mirror and the mounting plate to absorb vibration and your rearward view will be much better. Just my 2¢ worth.

I think a mirror from the MG A is a common choice. Dash mounted, rectangular shape. Could be the look & size you're after.
If you need a screen mounted to get through RWC or engineering then don't use too much glue It makes it hard to get off * clean when you go to change it.
