    Have you ever seen a Talbot held like this?

    This is the first time I remember seeing an exterior Talbot mirror held like this.
    The window is Plexiglas... must be, right?!

    Singer has used such 'through-the-ventwindow' mounting since they exhibited the orange prototype at the Laguna Seca Historics in August of 2009……..they may not be Talbots in name, they're better than Talbots because they are adjustable from the inside, but the mounting seems very similar.

    Yeah John, but Rob's solution is a clever one – as you said it can be adjusted from the inside.
    But this Talbot looks very awkward to me, and (as someone else pointed out) there should be a lot of vibration preventing you to actually see anything on such a small diameter mirror...
