The Terracycle cockpit mount has various bits and clamps designed to extend and provide mountings for all sorts, and bits can be bought separately:

Alternatively, looking at that lot might give ideas has to using odds and ends like barends, as Cunobelin suggests.

Brilliant, that might also help me out with the lack of suitable mudguards. I really don't want to pay Challenge £245 for a set.

I used to find that the Mirrycles on the Trice eventually failed through fatigue and bounced off into the undergrowth, never to be seen again.  It's currently got Blackburns.  Best of all is the glasses-mounted Take-A-Look.

Thanks! It's a VK2 tail box - lovely piece of work and fits the carbon Fujin seat perfectly, because that's also made by Velokraft.  P.s. Anyone have news of Kamil?

I could just put up a picture of my glasses, but instead this should do:

Picture made by Ivo on his 300km BRM last saturday.

It's a bent dentists mirror, attached with cut off bits of hose. Sold to me by recumbent shop ACE in Winterswijk, NL.
It's bent the wrong way for the UK though.

I tried using my Take-a-Look on the LHS of my glasses while in France but couldn't get used to it and left it on the right instead.  Not a problem in practice.

I agree that the side isn't really important.
On the ferry to LEL I moved it to the other side, and found out that the bend made it useless on the right. I put it back on on the left, and it was fine.
