CHEAP LT/SYNCRO MIRROR ALTERNATIVE

Post by ELVIS »

once you have paid an arm and a leg for bits from a scrappy to fit LT/Syncro style mirror arms you then have to trapse down to vw to pay an arm and a kidney for a set of undamaged mirrors. i have a cheap and effective solution for you crazy kids! (also for all you stynko soft-roaders who might break one by parking badly in burger king :lol: )

first off all go to ya local independant land rover shop and buy a set of these

they are 10" x 6" land rover mirrors sold for the 101 or an upgrade for series to replace the smaller standard ones.you can buy em cheap enough from

http://www.paddockspares.com/scp/SERIES/Mirrors.html (personally i wouldnt give paddock the steam off my wee though)

the back of the mirrors have the clamp to go on an arm BUT it is too small by a couple of mm, easy-peasy ........
pair of these from fleabay / local fastener place / vehicle wiring products (page 10) called 'P clips' for the dull - 16mm should be just the ticket
