Title: Exterior Rear View Mirrors Post by: joezan on January 07, 2015, 10:17:18 AM Am looking for some exterior mirrors for my project I am thinking of late 50s style chev would like them to suit the period of the car. What have others used ? I am shying away from the tear drop clamp on type.

Other types include Wibroc mirrors- similar in style They are all pretty available at swap meets etc. Ken Title: Re: Exterior Rear View Mirrors Post by: JOX515 on January 07, 2015, 12:14:22 PM I used 55-57 Chev mirrors on mine - they look great, good chrome and easy to install.

A word of warning: check with your engineer about how anal-retentive he wants to get on the mirrors. NCOP is really prescriptive, and requires the mirrors to be compliant to the latest version of ADR14 (http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2006L02663) i.e. you are unlikely to be able to use old or imported mirrors. Some engineers won't notice the missing mirror, others won't care as long as there is a mirror, and others will want to see ADR compliance certification :(. Cheers, Harv |
