Yes but you need the brackets for them so they will fit straight on. My memory eluding me here but think someone on Brickyard makes them.

Nice thing about the landy ones is they're cheap to replace.

One of the cheapest and best mods I've done on my van. Bought the brackets of Rowlesy and a mate of mine gave me some old Landy mirrors he had :D . Another bonus is you can see both sides of your can properly, which I couldn't with the originals

Those are the mirrors that came with some of the Syncro vans - they're the best OEM T25 mirrors IMHO. There was a similar set made for the LT vans as well which can be tweaked to fit.

I always fancied syncro truck mirrors but did not like the price for them I think the Landy ones with brackets take some beating
