Mirrors

Nice idea George  I already have a pair of manually adjusting clearview mirrors to suit a patrol. I have looked at fitting them to the front corner of the window area but I'm not so sure about covering the glass. Every time the glass got dirty I'd be wanting to remove the mirror t o clean behind it.
I did think about having the glass cut and modifying the door with a new window groove at the front but I think this would be too much work.

Ok, i see what your worried about, WHAT IF, you take the shape of the area that mounts to the door normally, and you bend up some 3 or 4mm steel to the shape so it is like a C shape, weld or screw it to to the door, then mount the mirror to the new C bit. This would then allow you to get your hand between the mirror and the glass, what this does is kicks out the mirror away from your window. You would kick it out to suit the size of your hand, so you can get in behind without removing the mirror. The metal mount would not take much, then just run the wiring  ( if powered ) through a grommet in the metal part of the door.

I understand what you're saying George. I'll look into it.

ahhh we went for the big truck mirrors with the blind spot circular on the bottom...perfect for vans as we had to mount on the front guards due to the sliding doors...if we put on doors we could use mirrors if we drive with them open ..which i do quite often when its hot...1974 style aircon ...nice

Thats a simple solution Wendy. Can you see the passenger mirror ok from the drivers seat? Do the mirrors vibrate/shake at all when your driving?

[wendyh]

hey Shane...yeah can see both mirrors fine....no vibration at all from them.
bedfords dont shake, rattle or roll
