Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi all has anyone fitted peep mirrors to his mog?? as I bought a pair and can't find a good way to fit them! :S

What are "peep" mirrors Frank?

I once saw a Chinese guy with glasses on which had 'wing' mirrors - peep mirrors?

i had them on mine and i clipped them onto the window channel, they were a bit close but looked gud[frame][/frame] at the top of the quaterlight

yes that's them the same one as the cars on hotrodder13's, they came with 2 short studs which are tightened by an allen key, but how the heck do you get the allen key in the channel to tightne them, once the studs are in the channel!

I do not particularly like this type of mirror.. when i purchased my 2 door saloon it had a set fitted and they were great until I came to a roundabout and I found they were exactly where I wanted to look and blocked out the centre of view.. needless to say i took them off as soon as i got home

If drilled onto the stainless triangle on the front of the quarterlight (remove to drill) they make very good overtaking mirrors.

They are handed so by putting the drivers mirror on the pasenger side the mirror heads can be rotated to get a good rear view. I got mine from BM but all suppliers seem to stock them

to tighten them i had to cut the allen key down it was very short when i finished but worked

you see now that's a good idea!!! Thanks mate!

make sure you tighten them up propley, cause i didnt and lost one on the bypass.

These are the type where you drill a hole in the quarterlight
Not perfect but acceptable vision[frame][/frame]

This is the clip on Tex mirror from Bullmotif which is very good quality and are not handed
Well suited to my Rover with good vision and no holes to drill
I first noticed them on a splitscreen Minor

I've got these mirrors fitted to the front wings on Phyllis. They're reproduction Lucas mirrors and, while they look lovely, they're really not tall enough to be fitted on the front wings. The nearside mirror is almost completely hidden by the bonnet hump! They look lovely, though.[frame][/frame]

I have the same mirrors on the quarterlights and agree that they look lovely. The downside is that the vision on the passenger side is obscured by abot 25%. This is not good with a RHD drive car driving on the left-not that I do much overtaking. There's no problem on the driver's side. Can anybody recommend a better mirror for the quarterlight with possibly a longer stem which slants backward rather than forward to improve the vision?
Regards

Hello Leo

Both of these mirrors look quite good.

How do the ones on your Rover fit and can you advise on how to fit them to a Morris Minor.
Also the ones fitted on your Morris Minor do they adjust well for the passenger side. As stated previously on here our passenger side one is useless.

All the best.
