mirrorb2_photo2_caseID117The rigidity of this part ensures the quality of retro-vision due to the absorption of the vibrations compared to engineering plastics. Note the (omega) shape for the rigidity of the assembly. Rigidity inside the envelope (volume) and reduced width of the assembly demonstrates the capacity of the zinc alloys to absorb the vibrations.
