Good morning,

I need to order a center mirror and want to know what size the roll cage bar diameter is.  It looks like 2 inch but I am at the office and have no way of measuring it.

Thanks

They are different everywhere you take a measurement but most of it is between 1.5 to 1.75. That bar on the 2015 z8 is 42.48mm which is 1.67". This is the one I used:

I kinda like NMKs better, it looks more adjustable. Mine you cant turn left and right since it has 2 mounting points but it is wide enough to get a good view

Funny you should say that because I find it pretty useless and wondered what one like yours would be like having a more panoramic view. If I had it to do over again I probably wouldn't do one there. I was out there this morning looking for a good place for my extra CB and though that area would be...not too bad...lol

It is good except because it solid mounts the drivers view is more of the passenger side in the rearview and the opposite for the passenger. I can tweak it if I adjust it more crooked but then it looks weird lol. It works but you just can see more on the right side than the left.

I have the one RedRider posted the link and it works fine. I shimmed the mount with a couple of thin rubber strips I had but a couple rounds of black tape would work just as well. I doesn't move from where I set it.

Thanks!!  I like how you mounted your Bluetooth speaker.  Mine has a suction cup so it goes on the rear windshield between the seats.
