Hinge pin mirror for Victoria

[smittykid]

I did a search, but I can't find a vendor who sells the hinge pin mirrors for Vicky's and S/W's. Bert's apparently has the correct size pin, but not the mirrors. I would really like to have at least a left side outside mirror on our Victoria. Any help would be appreciated. Smitty

Drill the holes open to fit the larger diameter pins. Here are the mirrors on my 190A.

Thank you Bob. Where did you get the mirror?

With my regular hinge mount mirrors, can't adjust the R/H one well. Has anyone tried to "tweek" the arm?

I added a threaded rod coupler to the back of the mirror on the RH side. That gave me the extra length that allows the mirror to be adjusted so it can be seen by the driver.

I copied this from the thread I referenced.

I went out in the cold garage and took some pictures of the 400A and also one of the pickup mirror. When I installed them on the 400, I copied the technique used on the pickup. Along with the aforementioned pin problem, I found the mirror you buy from the suppliers won't come back far enough to be able to adjust the head so you can see. Out came the dremel tool and I just started grinding off the part that was hitting until it folded back in a suitable position for adjustment. The mounting is quite solid. Drilling the holes was not that difficult.

Steve Becker, at Bert's, just sent me a mirror set up with the larger pin for my 31 S/W project. He may not show it on his site but he had one for me.
Good Day!
