Might be better to leave the cage tubes in tact and fit to the scuttle.

have you got any pictures of the cage?
i generally agree with what nick says, but the same could be said about drilling holes to rivet the side panels all down the side of the car. it very
much depends on the cage i think. my chassis has rivnuts in the side of the cage for mirrors, but then they're not the main tubes, but short
supporting triangulation tubes

Looks to be a standard MK full cage setup - so a decent length set of bike mirrors (CBR etc) should be fine on the side of the scuttle. I think MK
sell a set - maybe R1 style IIRC.
BTW - looks like a top quailty build you have in progress. Nice to see a non Black chasis too

Mine has the MK cage and tbh, I wouldn't want to drill it to mount the mirrors - it would be right where the bend is.
I have bike mirrors on mine and they are fine - I now have an aeroscreen on and they didn't even need moving.

Hi.
If the car was going to be going on trackdays on a regular basis. It would be wise to take the opportunity to raise the mirrors up to a usable
height. Ie at eye level Have a look around at picturers of any of the seven types racing etc. There are many ways of mounting the mirrors on to
the cage up at that height with various fabricated brackets such as home made aluminium P clip arrangements with a rubber inner for grip onto the
cage.
Cheers Matt
