I bought a slightly convex mirror from this company to put on my
Tiger; I'm satisfied with it.

I did not find a listing for just the convex mirror on a quick look through
so you might have to email them for that parts list and price list.
Also listed are an assortment of other mirrors.

Both of my mirrors are on the doors and that works for me. You do have to
be careful positioning and installing them on the doors; it is very tight
inside the door.

Subject: RE: Mirror location
Just a hint: I have Talbot style mirrors on my doors, and neither can be
adjusted so that I can see anything useful. Mine are flat, but I tried
adding some stick on convex mirrors, the same size as the originals, and
these too were useless. They were just too convex. I'm not sure that even
slightly convex Talbots could be adjusted to do anything useful on the
doors. And the further the mirrors are from your eyes, out on the fenders,
the less you can see with them, even if convex. Make sure you try them
carefully before drilling any holes.
In retrospect I wish I had abandoned the Talbots completely and filled the
holes before I painted. But I hadn't driven it much at that point. I have a
much larger clip on mirror that I added to the original interior mirror,
that gives me a fairly good view all around. Clip it on for driving, remove
for the concours. I saw a slightly convex version of the same thing at
Target last week, that should give even a better view.
