The 11282L is the flagship of the JOES mirror series. The 17-inch span provides a true panoramic perspective, virtually eliminating blind spots from the left rear to the right rear of the vehicle. The "L" (Long) brackets provide 5 inches of reach, which is essential for drop-mounting the mirror below the roofline or clearing internal chassis bracing that would block a shorter-bracket system.
Detailed Technical Specifications
1. Ultra-Wide Panoramic View
-
17-Inch Convex Glass: The extra width allows the driver to see past the rear pillars of almost any race car, providing a clear view of approaching competitors in both the inside and outside lines.
-
Stable Optics: Despite its size, the mirror housing is engineered for maximum rigidity to prevent the "shiver" or "blur" common in large mirrors under high-RPM vibration.
-
Precision Curvature: The glass is ground to a specific radius that maximizes the field of view without the "fisheye" distortion that can make cars appear further away than they actually are.
2. Heavy-Duty 5" Billet Brackets
-
6061-T6 Billet Aluminum: CNC-machined to hold the weight of the 17-inch housing securely. These brackets provide a rock-solid connection that will not sag over time.
-
Extended Vertical/Horizontal Reach: The 5-inch length allows for significant adjustability, making it the ideal choice for custom seating positions or cockpits with limited mounting space.
-
Black/Machine Finish: Typically features the classic JOES professional finish, designed to resist glare and look factory-installed.
3. Precision 1-1/2" Split Clamps
-
Interference-Free Install: The two-piece clamp design means you can bolt this directly to your 1-1/2" roll bar in minutes—no welding, drilling, or removal of other components required.
-
Consistent Indexing: Once tightened, the clamps provide a 360-degree grip on the tubing, ensuring the mirror stays perfectly aligned even through rough track conditions or contact.
