Different wing mirrors?

[Tiki-Al]

hi guys, anyone ever fitted anything but the box standard mirrors?

I know they are really good at doing their job but i do find them a tad dull. Tbf i always look over my shoulder anyway as they vibrate so much :mrgreen:

I was thinking more bullet style!
any pics would be great.

yeah thought so, ive changed my mind anyway :roll:

Went out to the garage to pull the van out to measure up and realised how much i use them to shoehorn the bus in and out of the garage. Anything else and i'd be struggling so they are staying for now!

Got these on mine and they work just as well as the big jobbies

they do look great, espesh with that belt line too.

did they just bolt straight on?

 

[clyde]

Sure did. They are Stainless steel motor bike mirrors.

Do these mirrors make a huge difference to your view? been thinking about fitting some but not sure about the style.

Yes, great for reversing!

I think they look great on a crew cab like that, they just fit with the whole look of the bus.

sorry to dig up a thread. Want to fit some different mirrors. Can I ask. Is the mirror M10 or M12 thread size into the pivot section?

nice work here.

thanks
