I have a 4A rear view mirror without any fixings the mirror arm has a bevel either side, if I can get the fixing unit will it fit a TR4 frame please.

Hi Pete,

any pics.

On my 4A I fitted a Halfords mirror that fitted between the sunvisors. The stalk was of no use but the original mirror stalk fitted (almost).

A bit of tinkering and it works fine.  It is now showing its age - sadly Halfords do not stock these mirrors any more.

I recommend fittinmg a TR5/6 dipping mirror to the 4 or 4A Pete. Much nicer for night driving and a wider field of view. Of course the sun visors no longer pass the mirror but I am  tall so the hard or soft top act as a sun visor for me and I never need them!

The Dolomite mirror is somewhat larger than the TR4 mirror, which increases the field of view, and, if I recall correctly, uses a similar mounting arm.

If you're lucky, you might find a dipping version of the Dolomite mirror in an autojumble.

This sort of thing?

If it is the design you are seeking it is a direct fit with standard screws.   It is designed so the mirror and stem break away in the event of a crash so it does not cut your head on impact.  Standard fitment  in Triumph cars from 1968ish.

I have a 5 with what I thought were original sun visors and mirror. The visors do pass the mirror, but I am now thinking that the mirror is incorrect. Would somebody be good enough to confirm or otherwise.

Many thanks,

Tim
