Door mirrors

[Walrus]

Bit cheeky, this... I want some truck style mirrors for Beaker and they are currently for sale at Brickwerks. That means the Electric Mirrors I currently have fitted will be surplus to requirements, so I was wondering what interest would be in them? Obviously I need to buy & fit the Brickwerks ones before i could actually offer the existing ones; what do people think they are worth - will I cover the cost of thier replacements? I have more urgent things to do (such as brakes), so need to be able to justify the cost by saying I will get some/all of it back, therefore the mirrors will cost me nothing except time!

Don't do it

the electric mirrors are just as wide angle as the truck ones, just as discrete, ie foldable and the doors are modified to take them with the third bolt rivnut, I thought long and hard about it and could have fitted truck mirrors back then (cheaper option) but the colour coded electrics were the way to go. I understand not fitting the big bumpers but not changing the mirrors and removing the wiring and changing (or bodging the hole) the door card, unless you need to put the vehicle in a space where even folded in the mirrors are too wide, but then you wouldn't be able to get out of the sliding door, even a container is wide enough for the big mirrors

just mho of course

Second that.

I've thought about it for a long time; done it now, as mirrors are ordered. There's nothing wrong with the existing ones (I just like the truck style ones more) so they will be on fleabay soon.

hardest part of the job will be removing the wiring but because it was added not original it is only clipped to the main dash loom not integral, removing the rubber tubes is easier than fitting them,obviously I added the central locking at the same time using the combined door loom set with no door speakers so you'll have to split those looms but the mirror loom and the central locking main looms came from seperate vans so will be easier to seperate
I have truck mirrors (prevously fitted to see round a tischer back) on the pickup otherwise I'd have the big mirrors for that

I also need to remove the dash to change the blower motor - that should make access to the wiring easier, so I will do that at the same time - and the headlight upgrade (and to check why the L/H main beam spot fuse keeps blowing); there's never 'just one job...'!
