Landrover Discovery Brackets and Door Mirrors

[keynsham1]

I see someone on eBay is selling brackets to allow fitment of Land Rover Discovery door mirrors to a T25. Does anyone have any experience of these? My original mirrors cracked and the aftermarket ones I bought were money down the drain!!

A guy on this forum makes them so should be all good. Think its Rowlesy.

 I made my own brackets out of 3mm plate and mig welder if you're handy. Land rover mirrors are much better!

You mean defender mirrors not discovery ?

I do!

Yep, had the floppy vw ones went with the defender bracket/mirrors and have been no trouble. Solid and give a good viewing angle.

Put a rubber mat under the shim so it’s not metal against metal.

Will do! My mirrors arrived today. They are so much better than aftermarket T25 ones!

I did that otherwise it would likely rub and rattle too.

Got mine and need to paint them. Any tips on the best stuff to use? Tried hammerite on a tow bar recently and it was cack!

Use spray primer and then black paint from rattle can

Cheers. Primed the tow bar and used hammerite from a rattle can but has just chipped off. Didn't key the primer which I think may have been a schoolboy error!
