Love the LARGE VIEW, w/o the blind spots of the western mirrors type I took off.

I'm runnin with the straight arm peeps. I had the curved arm peeps mounted at the top of the door and couldn't see much at all. These are workin out fine

grebus1 · 04-10-2007, 12:13 PM

Fourty1, how did you make that style work with the shape of the door? Also, do you have any close-up pics that you could post?

67ChevyRedneck · 04-10-2007, 01:00 PM

I like stockers. 67-70.

71chevylowrider · 04-10-2007, 01:07 PM

I got some of these

The flamed ones are the ones I have. It's going to be some work, but I'm nowhere near ready to install them, They should look real good! ................Jerry

$14.95 each.

OLDIRON69 · 04-10-2007, 03:51 PM

Thanks, I have one of their catalogs but must have missed it in there.

Finally mounted my 2 - 80's style mirrors.
my wonderful neighbor , lent me his nut-riveting tool( with a step drill I dilled a 3/8" hole ( 4 steps ) & rivet mounted the hidden nuts. didn't need to remove the inner door panel. additional mounting bolts etc, below X two.

Each side required:
2 - 3" SS bolts,
3 - flat rubber washers ( 2 pac= $0.92)
3 - SS flat washers,
3 - large nylon spacers,
Lots easier to see, & swing-a-way to boot. !
NO ADDED BLIND SPOTS, like the California style western mirrors & wing window divider produced.
*drivers side mirror is flat,
*passenger side is convex.
*BIG & WIDE VISION even with an Alaskan POPup camper sticking out...
VERY Glad I switched..
*total price around 99 dollars day & 1/2 labor
*of course I'll now add a filler piece, but for now rock solid & spiffy

I still have to figure out the filler piece to cover the mounting bolts,etc.., choices are : chrome, brushed aluminum, or white plastic...
hope this helps
