SL mirror foam?
Simple question.
Should there be a strip of foam on the roof of the SL mirror box, to dampen the impact of the mirror? Yes? No? Maybe? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks Last edited by thrid : February 15th, 2008 at 10:04 PM. |

Re: SL mirror foam?
interesting. I just took a close look in there and you're right. I don't even see any space where foam would fit.
But it is somewhat odd. You can distinctly hear the mirror hit the metal guide rail. Even a simple piece of felt would have greatly reduced the noise. |

Re: SL mirror foam?
Hey there,,,
You are all correct - there never was any foam used on the SL families. They had what is best described as a mechanical braking system that slowed the mirror. If my memory serves me correctly, they even had an illustration of it in the brochures, and mentioned the fact that they didn't use foam to stop the mirrors like the other companies......an excellent method, and expensive to produce....and a little noisy.... |
