Yeah bought them separately. Got the brackets and mirrors from ebay but from different people.
Rowlseys ebay for the brackets.
Cannot recall the place for the mirrors but get the bearmach mirrors as they are the best quality ones.

hiya! the main reason for fitting these was the view out of the mirrors and the fact i could fold them in and out easily back to the same spot without adjusting the head. the view is remarkable as the glass has a slight convex. you can see from the rear wheel all the way up to the gutter. brackets do need paint but im still trying to convince my local powder coating guy to give me a good deal.... shout if you need any help - i can send you links for mirrors and happy to help with any advise...
HELLO HUTCH! need to catch up[ soon buddy!

They are better made, stronger, not plastic bases but alloy, improved visibility tge list goes on. I recently converted a friends van and I couldn't believe how poorly made thin plastic etc on the original mirrors

I've heard that some aftermarket mirrors are naff quality. I saw those when I was looking almost got some as they were cheap but opted for the bearmach ones as apparently they dont vibrate around as much as cheaper ones.

Thanks do you sell the brackets on ebay, ive found a seller but unsure if it is you, link to mirrors would be good as there appears to be a lot out there, so would want the best.

I've had these on x3 of my vans - nicely boxed and packaged, good condition & good quality. I recommend.
James has done a good write up on mirrors...

I only use the Paddock Landy ones personally. I’ve never had the monster truck mirrors.

I fitted the truck mirrors to my van following James guide.
best upgrade ive done to my van so far.. the difference between them and the original mirrors are night and day. Bit pricey but well worth it to be able to see all around you.
