On my old 1302 I cut the stock mirrors down to just a stalk drilled and taped the stalk and bolted modified Ford mirrors to the stalk.

No worries Steve, thanks for sharing, I think thats a great idea. Any closeups of the mirror?

Hi Jason

I've sold the car, but I kept the mirror stalks. I've attached another photo of my old car with the mirrors, they were used on local Ford Falcons (same model Falcon that Mel Gibson drove in Mad Max/Road Warrior) down here in the 70s, they had section on them that I cut off and glassed over where they bolted to the door.

The orange mirror is random mirror I found on eBay to show how they look with attaching section still attached.

The two black mirrors are the sort I'm going to be using on my new car, again from an old local Falcon.

Very cool, I think a lot of late model bugs could use the idea! Have you posted these in a separate "Mirror Mounting" post in body? Might be nice, those looking probably won't see it in here!
