Mirrors

[Cornishman]

Will be fitting new wings next week. The question I have is what mirrors do I fit? Presently they are on the wings,but I really do want to re-fit them. Are quarter light mirrors the answer,and if so how to fit them?
My moggy is a 1961 original convertible. Manny thanks Andy

I have an original convertible and I have round mirrors on the wings and "clip on" door mirrors on the window frames which I find adequate although I know from past postings that some people find them useless.

Make sure they are the convex ones flat ones are useless. Mirrors help but looking over your shoulder is important.

Here's a picture of a door mirror fitted to the stainless steel triangle.

I've recently bought and fitted a pair of the mirrors pictured to our Minor (replacing a single clip-on mirror which fell off). The difference is amazing with visibility is greatly improved. Like you, I didn't want to drill holes in the wings and this is a great compromise. I bought them from Bull Motif Spares and they weren't expensive - a pair costing vastly less then a replacement single mirror for my modern car recently

Mirrors on the wings are very useful for avoiding gate posts

OK I gone for wing mirrors,the question is where do I postion them on the new wings, can anyone help with some positioning dimensions?
Many Thanks

Its a personal choice again! Get someone to hold them while you sit in the drivers seat and look. I find that 9inches from the headlight to be a good position for mine and usually in line with the little bump on the headlight rim. Heres my traveller with them in that position.
