REJones Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 The rear view mirror on my 4a only gives a limited view of what is behind and is pretty poor at covering areas near your blind spots. I have torpedo door mirrors which look nice but again give only a limited field of vision. I am sure other people have similar issues. I am thinking of trying a clip on mirror but the ones on ebay are far too wide-smallest is 240mm. Has anybody gone down this route or am I alone experiencing this. The other option is a replacement mirror from another classic. Any ideas? Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Halfords used to do a small convex stick on mirror that wasn't too intrusive. John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I have a stick on convex mirror, 3” diameter on my near side door mirror (from a truck) and a smaller one on the offside mirror. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi Richard, convex mirrors are available for the bullet mirror https://www.google.com/search?q=convex+bullet+mirror&oq=convex+bullet+mirror&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.8421j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim hunt Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I fitted a TR6 mirror to my 4A many moons ago - a much better field of view and with dipping facility. Of course the wider mirror prevents the sun visors from turning back against the screen but being tall I sit high enough in the car not to need them. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Triumph Dolomites (some, at least) have a wider mirror, and some of these will dip. Worth keeping eyes open at autojumbles, which is where I found one. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerrytr5 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 There is usually a gentleman at the International and other autojumbles who has some wide interior mirrors. His name escapes me (apologies) but he's an ex-Triumph works mechanic and usually has his motorhome and a small but useful selection of parts for sale. I can't remember what they are from, but he said they used them on the works cars. Uses the same ball joint fixing so can be swapped to existing swan-neck.
