General: An answer to our Mirror problem

[Thowdfella]

There have been a few entries about how to sort out the near side door mirror on Amazons and P1800 s. And I have come up with an answer that works for me.Looking at the original mirror the fixing is in the centre of the back which isn't ideal so I bought a pair of Texconvex mirror from Holdens that have the fixing near the edge which pushes the mirror further out from the door. To fix these mirrors I had to get 2ba nuts and make them round and file a slot in them and that works fine but I still couldn't get the mirrors far enough in to see the near side of the car. So the final step was to cut a wedge from a 20mm aluminium tube that goes from nothing to approx three sixteenths inch, cut a bit out so I could push it between the sprung arm and the fixed body and this works brilliantly. I can now see the nearside from the driving seat.
I wanted to put photos on here but can't find a way to do it but if anyone wants them just send me a pm
