‘40 right mirror

Re: ‘40 right mirror

I bought a 3" mirror, removed the existing clamp end and stud. I made up an aluminum block then drilled it to fit a reduced height Allen bolt. 3M double backed tape holds it on.

Re: ‘40 right mirror

I mounted a small blind spot mirror on the passenger side wind wing. It's not an ideal solution, especially in cold weather, but it does help.

Glennpm, that is a nice, clean looking installation.

Re: ‘40 right mirror

I use the hinge Mirrors on my 40 convert and think they are great . They are functional and I can drive down the highway easily and check on my right side with confidence . Works for backing up as well. Those that complain must be more concerned with something else other than function. In twenty years of using them I’ve never had anyone even in a v8 circle ding me for having them. The cowl mount Mirrors on the 40 are useless in my opinion. If you want to just look at your car put the cowl Mirrors on, if you want to drive it and have something useful and functional put the hinge mirrors on. Just my thought from a guy who drives mine a lot and have a nice stock flathead Columbia axle’d car.
