Greg, I find the placement of my mirrors satisfactory both for functionality
and period correctness. They are close enough to see out of and not out of
place. The passenger side one should be a convex one for a wider view. My
mirrors are Talbot bullet style but not Talbots. This is how they look on my
Healey. Good luck.

Subject: [Healeys] Where to put my mirrors.
Team,
I have have what I believe are called Lucas style mirrors.
Like these: http://www.victoriabritish.com/Features/T6/T6MR1.htm
They are mounted on the doors just aft of the wing vents.
They are useless. I get a good view of the rear tires and that's as high as
they
go.
I'd like to move them, but to where? I thought on the fenders out over the
tires
was cool but the body shop guy says they're not that functional out there and
it
visually screws up the lines of the fender which are an important design
element
of the BJ8.
Lastly, I am 6'0" tall. I had to get the rearview mirror extension to raise
it
up enough to see out the back.
All that being said, where do I put the mirrors.
Greg
