Had my first engineer check today, got a few things to fix but over all not to bad. Can anyone tell me if my 71 1600 has to have two side mirrors, or can I get away with just one??? Also he's not happy with my brakes.... When you lock up hard the rear locks up first and the rear steps out.. How do I rectify this cheers

My late 71 1600 has only ever had just the driver side mirror. As for brakes probley just get an adjustable brake bias valve installed.

All I want is less to do, more time to do it and higher pay for not getting it done.

Mirrors were dealer fitted so I guess they chose how many mirrors they wanted to put on. My stanza coupe also only has 1 mirror and got a roadworthy just fine, alot of older cars only have the 1.
But if your engineer wants you to have 2 I suggest you make him happy and find another one.
As for breaks yeah you'll need a valve like yellow1600 said.
