Rear reflectors...

[Ruairidh Dunford]

What clever solutions have people come up with for functional but unobtrusive rear reflectors please?

Struggling with ideas for the Cup that don’t completely ruin the lines of the car but very aware they are an essential safety feature.

Hi Ruairidh

As you have steel wings, perhaps you could make neat brackets
With high strength magnets that you could remove in
Daylight hours. You only need them in the dark?

How much night driving are you planning?

I’d be more worried about effective brake lights in daylight.

I like the magnet suggestion - have seen this used effectively on other cars for additional lighting, thank you.

This was my solution, I thought it looked better than some of the alternatives?

I have used rare earth magnets inside Bluemels reflectors on a Nippy. 
They can be moved about and also removed for cleaning.

[Ruairidh Dunford]

You did spring to mind on this suggestion.

Hi

I use magnet reflectors on the RK.

Beware though they can damage the paint if it is not very hard.

I also use magnets on the front indicators and tried the same for the rear light clusters (pork-pie).  Unfortunately I couldn't get a magnet strong enough to stop them sliding slightly in use so they are now bolted.

Cheers

Hi R,

You could do something like this.

this is an original I bought some time ago for Tracy's chummy.

I'm sure you could copy something simular. To make it very period looking.

There are plenty of these around you could use as the reflector in the middle.

Warning triangles have always been very popular on pre war cars.

Nice Tony, but where would he put it(them)
But Construction & Use Regs might mean you need a pair?

Have you ever seen another identical one?

Looking at the mud guards on the cup you may struggle but assuming you have a flat metal number plate they could just fit to the side of the number plate above or below the tail light.
