Racing Mirror Gaskets

Featured Replies

Hello,

I have read through threads from years ago and read that some members had been cleaver enough to 3D print Racing Mirrors Gaskets.

I am rescuing a scrapped pair of mirrors and wondered if anyone had the 3D design they could email to me and I could then get to work finding a way to print them?

Any help would be wonderful.

Here are pictures to clarify what I am looking for...

Thank you.

I would make some out of a old inner tube of a car or bike. prefer car inner tube, as the rubber is thicker.

Thank you, that is a good back up plan if I can't find any. Thank you for the suggestion.

Those seals actually have a lip around the edge that sheet rubber won't duplicate

There's two ways of doing things, the right way and the stupid way. Recreating and 3D printing the gaskets is the right way....enough said.

No, but it's always better than nothing.. another solution is to have someone print it in a 3d printer. (If that edge is so important to have.)

Doing another 3d print run for @pjczc8 this weekend. Dug up my old files from 6 years ago. Have a SLS metal printer now, should be able to come up with some interesting pieces!

Wow! Could have just got you to print the mirrors rather than rescuing old beaten up one 🤣
