Default how to install wink rearviews w/ a cage?

All the mounting kits i see are to mount the the ceiling. would that work w/ a rollcage? i'm in despress need to get one since i had to remove my oem one to install the cage. summit sells it for $17 for a 5 panel one. does that include the hardware? where else can i get it online or locally?

I second the motion for the worm drive radiator clamps. Bet you probably have some spares in the garagew, then they are free. Us the Wink supplied L brackets and clamp them on.

Sorry, your post didn't say you wanted the cheapest. Yeah hose clamps are hard to beat.

I chose the Longacre brackets in order to positon the mirror to my liking...

yea, i did the clamp method before i even came back to read this thread, i just picked mines up this morning and i installed it during my lunch break, damn i'm starving now though, haha. anyways, the mirror don't have a smooth transaction from one to the next, are they "suppose" to? i'm satisfied though, mirror #1 is the left quarter window, mirror #2 is the rear, mirror #3 is the right quarter window, and mirror #4 seems useless, it's pretty much my right window, it's pretty freakin when u look at them, it gets confusing, but i'm happy w/ it, i'm only gonna look at the single area i need (ie, the third one when i make right lane changes, etc)

being me, here's the pictures:

If it's positioned correctly, there shouldn't be a huge transition of viewable area from one panel to the next. I would try to move it towards the pass. side and play with position...
