That would be very useful Paul - many many thanks

Do you intend swapping non-powerfold bullet mirrors into the stanchions for egg-shaped powerfolds? If you are, I think you will fail. If you are converting like-for-like (ie bullet powerfold to egg powerfold) then you might succeed.

I have never seen the bullet shaped ones up close - but my plan was to try for powerfold to power fold (or simply make the LHD RHD and be done with it!

)

Thanks Simon

Possibly but if you don't try...

HAVE succeeded - as is now documented

I'll get onto it.

Please PM me a suitable e-mail address - no point in wasting bandwidth on the forum IMO, I'll send them direct, if that's OK with you.

Ah yes. That would logically work as the fixing on my non-powerfold bullets would seem impossible to make a pivot point on them so maybe the powerfold bullets are indeed a different shape.

Then again, it may be possible to make a DIY powerfold from a non-powerfold bullet using a powerfold egg as a donor... Hmmm. Now there's an interesting project...

On a side note: powerfold egg - I make myself laugh sometimes...

If Christopher can use the pair then that would be better use. I only need the black housing as mine has a chunk missing.

Christopher...over to you......
