Arcol mirrors installed!
#1

After a bunch of internet searching I finally found the Arcol mirrors from Spain that Newell installed as an upgrade on so many 05 and up units.

When I first saw the chrome ones on 751 I just knew I had to have them! My DW said "you don't need those mirrors" and you know what? She was correct I didn't need them, but I wanted them.

So after wiring some of my hard earned $$ to Spain we waited for six weeks for the big brown truck to arrive.

The mirror got here a little late but they arrived undamaged. 

I bugged the crap out of Mike at newell to give me some advice on how to install them. After nervously drilling holes in the side of our new to us rig we got started. 

I'm happy with the way they look but I want to reinforce them with some steel plates behind the fiberglass. Right now we just went thru the side cabinet. I think there is a small gap between the the fiberglass and cabinet, with some foam sprayed in the gap.

I want to cut out the wood, remove the foam and put some that steel plate flush behind the bracket that the mirrors hang on so that i don't take a chance on the fiberglass cap cracking while trying to support this 20lb mirror
