Yep, should work as long as the "bolt" part of the mirror isn't too long as it may interfere with your windows when they wind up and down. Doub't it though from the look of your pics. From what I can remember the mirror comes with a rubber sealing washer so you shouldn't have any water issues either. Let me know how you get on as I reckon those old style mirrors are the way to go, especially in chrome.

yeah i'll post pics, there's a whole heap of old style chrome mirrors on the ebay store, but these are by far the biggest, which having a windowless van, i'll need all the visibility i can get. plus i can put one of those convex stick-on mirrors on without covering half of the regular mirror

Google Britax they do the mirrors, you could get that mirror with a convex glass that way you won't need a stick on one

I went down to Service SA yesterday to pic up my re-printed rego plates. I figured if i'm doing up the whole van, i don't want a set of 30 year old faded and dented number plates ruining the look.
Plus i couldn't think of anything smart arse to use as a personalised plate.
Only bummer is they require me to return the old plates, dang, two sets of plates, two white vans and only 1 renewal fee sounded like an idea, but i guess they thought of that too

So pulled out the front seats today, the drivers was rusted through, so i'm kinda glad i pulled them out, it coulda been dangerous otherwise. Also cleaned all the gunk off the cabin floor (i Assume it was a similar product to dynamat used back in the day, we worked out a plan for the crossmember, and i worked out the original shifter boot will work in the new location. (See picture) Australia day should be a big day, getting the wheels and brakes back on, will take lots of photos to post

Just had to pay $120 to get some custome made wheel nuts for my front mags, sometimes bargains on ebay aren't bargains

So i got my 15x8.5's fitted with 245-60-R15's and they look so skinny they look like pizza cutters. I havn't put them on the van yet, but i've been looking at 15x10's for so long i've gotten used to them. Hopefully once i fit them on the van they will look a bit more meatier.
For the record, 245-60-15 have an overall diameter of 26.6" (675.6mm) and 295-50-15 have a diameter of 28.8" (680.7mm) only 5mm or less than 1% difference in size.

Tomorrow should be a big day, i'll post lotsa photos tomorrow night. Fingers crossed i'll get the Azzvan off blocks and back onto its wheels. And then all thats left is everything
