S2 Esprit wing mirror bezel?

[CharlieCroker]

Anyone got a Giugiaro S2 wing mirror bezel? The plastic surround that goes around the wing mirror edge. Thanks Charlie.

Hi Charlie, I need to make one for my self (moulded from the one I have). I made the last one (that got knocked off by a tree) from "Fast cast" and it looked good. I checked the silicone mould a few days ago and it has started to rot so I need to make another. Would you still be interested in these bezels for cost price?

I am after a convex mirror if you know of one...

Hey Mark, I'd be interested in a couple of those. PM me please

If its the same as an S3 wing mirror I'd be interested too

I'd be interested in a pair.

The mirrors were made by a company called Surrey Steel and were used on some other marques. You can find them on 1978 to 1985 Aston Martins, also Holden Torana, Monaro and Kingswoods in Australia. Rare Spares in Australia started re-manufacturing them around 10 years ago so repro parts may be available "Down Under"

Hi all, I will crack on and get the new mold made. Please message me so that I can get an idea of quantities...

Are they swappable right/left?

[WIDJET]

Mine are, the shape is symmetrical and so is the glass

Came across this purely by chance, some repro items in America. Shame they are painted white for the advert as the flash makes it difficult to assess the accuracy of the shape.

Have not looked at this any further, just linking the page for anyone else interested;

The owner of that company is called Mike. He has a website called lotusespritparts.com

He's a nice guy. I got a set of door to body finisher trims from him.. They are very good quality fibreglass parts.

Was thinking of getting an s1/s2 hornpad off him and fitting it to an eclat steering wheel, since the s2 steering wheel is pretty rare and very expensive.

Member here "Roger Moore" was offering an original S2 wheel recently

Hi Mark,

I was in contact with Anthony recently. My esprit came with an aftermarket boss that he was interested in. We were going to exchange steering wheels, however the boss didn't fit his car well as it is a Nardi boss rather then a Momo boss.

So still looking for a steering wheel.

Does anyone know if the eclat and esprit steering wheels are compatible.

I have an original eclat steering wheel (the one with the removable centre not the entire horn pad) and the splines are too large for my steering column.

The wheel I have has a fixed boss attached to the wheel.

However, there is a different version with a separate boss that I'd like to try. As I should be able to get an esprit hornpad and hopefully change it over.

Would anyone have a few pics of the eclat steering wheel and boss? (the version with the fully detachable hornpad)

Just an update for those interested. I have made the mould for these Bezels and I have some sensible results. I've had problems with the casting being fragile. This is due to the black dye so I am using only a small amount resulting in the Bezels turning out purple in daylight.

For those who want these, they will need very fine sanding and finishing plus a coat of paint to change the colour. Also, would it be easier for all if I put these on Ebay?

Hi Mark,

Would you be able to post a few pictures ? if you have a paypal account we can all send you payment direct

[Loose Cannon]

Looking forward to seeing the results

[WIDJET]

Well here are pics. The yellow one is the original covered in spray putty to mask blemishes. One closeup demonstrates that the copies do need a fine sand and a coat of paint and there are minor blemishes that will need smoothing. They fit my mirrors well, both left and right. As they are made of resin, they are not as robust as the polythene originals and will crack if stressed too far. It helps to warm them up before fitting. They will need a good wash before painting as they are moulded in silicone and primed with something like "Sticks-like" or "plasticote plastic primer". Motor factors and B&Q sell this. They are working out at about 5.30GBP each

Nice job Mark. Put me down for at least 2

[Bazza 907]

Fantastic job

I'd like 2 please

[Chris Southam]

They look really good, when I get my car I'll check they look the same and then order.

Hi Mark,

Mine are the chrome stalk mirrors, the base looks different to mine
