Stag Door Mirrors

[thebadleys]

Having found the swans neck style of door mirror difficult to get a good rearwards view i've tried a spare MGB ( I know !! ) mirror with a convex glass.

Fitting was straight forward as the holes for the fixing plate are identical so a straight swop.

Very pleased with the result as the mirror head is further forward a better angle is obtained and the convex glass gives a wider angle and a safer view.

Now to fit the nearside

To adjust the mirrors so that you can see properly do the following.
Take the glass out of the frame by removing the plastic surround. Don't drop the glass!
Bend the mirror body so that the angle is better.
Refit the glass.
You may have to do this a few times to get the correct angle.
I have done this with 2 of the Stags I've owned.

Thanks done that and added the plastic rings, OK but think this may improve it.

N/s mirror to be fitted tomorrow now so we'll see.

I think I have another pair in a box of bits, just started cataloging surplus Stag parts ( not many) and some MGB parts to put on eBay.

I'll have a lot tomorrow.

Nigel,
I was wondering whose make of mirrors I should replace mine with. I have tried bending the frame piece (with the mirror out) and I still can't see a think out of the offside mirror. Will order a pair. Thanks for the tip.
In your pile of Stag spares you don't have a set of reasonably good front black leatherette seats and covers? I think that could be the holy grail.
