Hey

So when I recently got my van I was driving back and noticed the wing mirrors looked tired but also that the glass seemed to be slightly magnified, the wife was following me back on the motorway and I thought sh#t she’s really close but looking in the rear view she was well back from me.

I purchased a brand new set thinking these would be different, but upon fitting them they were identical and on my first drive they actually started to move and drop at around 50mph .

Been looking at upgrades and came across this Land Rover set from Slaughter House Customs. Anyone fitted these or have a different set? They also do a truck set but personally seem overkill, I just want standard nine magnifies glass which is less dangerous.

We fitted LR mirrors, they are a very good upgrade.

Found our mirrors on FB Marketplace. Land Rover 90/110 - Bearmach brand are the best, part number BR1918R

Then we bought the adapters on eBay from a user named uberfukz. He has none listed at the moment but I think he will make them to order if you message him. Or they wouldn't be hard to make yourself if you know someone with basic metalwork skills..

We bought a small piece of Silicon sheet to cut to size and place between the adapter and van body.

Finally we bought some security bolts from Volksbolts to keep them on the van

Thanks for that, they sell the set for £95.50 are yours standard glass?.

I will defiantly get the anti theft bolts, to be honest never thought about somebody steeling them

Have you tried tightening the nut under the bracket on your mirrors?

Ours are slightly convex which eliminates the blind spot.

Yes haha

The LR mirrors are a very good upgrade you can see a lot more than the standard factory t25 mirrors they can fold against the van easily and adjustment is better. I did the same as Alfredo and bought the brackets from ebay.

My Bezza is a 'Left-Hooker' and these mirrors work a treat in our RHD Blighty world.

I have just put the T25/3 electric mirrors on after getting them sprayed to match the van.

It was the one thing that messed with my OCD. I’d even developed the habit of nudging the driver side every few mins with my thumb to keep it pointing where I needed when doing anything over 50mph….

( Legend has it I still do it in my sleep   ) 

I considered the landy ones, but someone I know had them on an old van and said they stay in place, but vibrated too much for him. Can’t vouch for that myself though. Third hand info.

Hey,

I have fitted the SHC ones and are very happy with them, even at 70mph, yes my van can reach that speed they don’t move.

I would say well worth the money, do get the anti theft bolts also.

The only issue I found was the anti theft bolts are counter sunk, the SHC brackets aren’t. So I just modified them with a counter sunk tool.

I have the truck mirrors and love them! Easy to install and never vibrate or go floppy.

You should keep below 50 if you’re driving in your sleep! Safety first!
