Peep mirrors

I ordered jeep mirrors off Amazon.

"LIBERRWAY Door Off Mirror Compatible with Jeep Wrangler TJ JK 4x4 Off-road Morror Rectangular Mirrors Quick Release Side View Mirror, right position, 2 Pack"

item B07J1VX6Z6

Sorry I don't have the post count yet to link directly or post pictures.

I also tried the peep mirrors and found them worthless. For these jeep mirrors I did have to drill holes and mount them to the body. But I don't think they look too out of place, and I've been very happy with them. Can't beat the price at $27 for a pair. They do vibrate some, but they hold their position, you can still clearly see the cars behind you, and they offer a nice wide view beside and behind. They don't impact the way the door opens at all on my slant window.

I had mirrors on both chromned covered spares. Then convex stick ons one each tire. Worked pretty well. I had a non standard center m1rrror with a clock. It was wider the little oval Henry offered.
 
Years ago when I put mine on I ended up parking my A on the driveway, and then parking two of my daily drivers just behind, and along side on each side where I wanted to see. Once you drive with them a while you make minor adjustments, and get them zeroed in. You get used to them. The vibrations calm down with load on the drive line.
 
I have the same mirrors and had the same issue. I reversed the c-clamp and it changed the angle of the mirror stock

I like the hinge pin ones. Those ones with thy allen screws always chew up the paint. I have them on my streetrod, and dislike the marks they put on the inside of the door.
 
I have a Slant Town Sedan, I wanted a mirror on the right side of the car. I bought a Peep Mirror and have to mount it on top of the door. Couldn't get it close enough to see the side of the car. Took the mirror apart and cold bended the arm that the mirror attaches to. Now I can see the right side of the car, have plenty of adjustment.

Thanks for the link, Katy. The listing says 'No Drilling'. Does that apply to Model A attachment also?

I did have to drill to make them fit the A. But I use mine as a daily driver, so the trade was worth it to me to be able to have mirrors I could actually see with. And I figured I'd patched enough other holes throughout the body to compensate for the ones I added. :D

Mine has clamp-on ones on the wind wings. You couldn't see anything. I put those round convex mirrors on them and now it's fine. They come in different sizes and most have double sided tape to mount them. $2-4 on FleaBay $6-10 at the parts store.
 
I tried the same mirrors you have and could not get them to work. I gave them away and went with the hinge pin mirrors and they work great and no vibration
 
To all the folk who mentioned stick-on convex mirrors - do you have a maker of those? I'm looking around for a 4-inch convex to just stick onto the 4-inch Synder's door-attached mirror.....

Thanks!
 
Well...I reversed the clamp and that helps get the mirror where I want, but it does make it only set on a small area of the arm on the door. So I decided to make my own arms. I have access to a CNC plasma cutter, drew them up, and put the passenger one on. I can bend it to where I want. Hardest part was bending the u bolt. Need to make a jig or something. Haven't tested wind resistance or vibration yet as the weather has not cooperated.

I've found that the mounting stud on the back of some mirrors (sold by some of the vendors) is too short, restricting the adjustment of the mirror. Remedy was to buy different mirrors w/a longer mounting stud.
 
I solved the "short mounting stud" delima by adding a 1" barrel nut from the hardware store into the mix.
