I didn't drill the pin hole until after mounting them to be sure fold back worked properly with no binding.
Zees is the clever bit ^^
Fold back a pain if arms distorted or not aligned and fitted nicely, due to pre-tension...one of mine was bent but didn't notice it at first.

Also bent LT arms a bit to get them as close to same angle as syncro arms going into mounts... and same spacing.... with no tension on them.... before final mounting.
That's why I traced the syncro arm and mount spacing from some real syncro mirrors.

'fraid I rushed into a bit else would've done a bit of reesurch like that, will revisit that problem sometime..
No-one else owned up to getting bad nightime speedo reflections then? Maybe my driverside mirror needs putting biggest side outwards, as it also obscures oncoming in tight l/h corners

Mine are mounted outwards and as low as possible on arm.. before mirror hit's arm on bottom... and no blind spot or reflection problems.

I can see the digi clock and red band on the rev counter in the mirror if don't dim the backlights on dark roads, (actual reflection is on the window but its in line with the mirror) and they are slightly more iritating than normal mirrors on roundabouts as they hide stuff behind them but a) the dash lights dim for a resion, use it! I can see the digi clock reflecting on the windscreen too in simular light levels - aren't head up desplays usally expencive options? b) move your head and blindspots go away leaving fantastic mirrors that see all - problems solved! (mine are proper T3 ones with the mirror heads inbord).

Thanks Bob
a) the dash lights dim for a resion, use it!
Unfortunately that dimmer doesn't seem to do anything on mine - will investigate further.

Just to clarify, they are LT mirror arms, not syncro arms.
