Re: side mirror info needed
Thanks for the mirror info. Yes, the Amphicar is FINALLY in my possession. It's been in different shops since 2003. Thanks to Dave the Wave I have a very nice transmission.This year in Celina I'll be able to get out of the water without pushing the Amphi onto dry land. I also won't have to stop every 15 minutes to keep adding water or worry about overheating.
There are still some minor issues: like opening the windows &trying to get the passenger door to close, but they are nothing to worry about. (Gord, I'll see you in Celina for those little things.)
I'm still REAL nervous aboutputting it into water. We have a small lake nearby where we tested the Amphicar last year by tying ropes to the car & just pushing it into the water to see if it would float. I want to drive the Amphi back therenow to swim it but am finding myself REAL chicken about it. I keep saying, "Tomorrow!"
See you in Celina! Ina in the Boro

You would generally be mounting a mirror on top ofthe front fender or door at a point well above the waterline. By the time you have significant water coming in at the mirror you have bigger problems to be worying about? Almost any mirror will have a mounting plate ofrubber, plastic, or something similar to keep water out and, more importantly, to protect the paint.
Glad to hear you are finally on the road / water.
