S2 DOOR MIRROR REPAIR
AS ALL OF YOU WITH A SERIES 2 MIRROR KNOW, the little plastic part breaks off. Club member Tony ‘Skid’ Nash has manufacture a repair kit made of brass parts which replaces the broken unit. I tested one myself on a broken mirror and Graeme Lawton also repaired one of his own mirrors. It’s simple to do, with the most difficult part only being the removal of the mirror body from the housing. Some care, warm water and patience is all you need. I’m a butcher and managed to do it. Graeme is a lot less technical and he also managed to do it. Look at the photos to see which part fails and can now be replaced. Get in touch with Richard on parts@ sunbeamlotus.com and we will let you know more information.
