[Healeys] Mirrors

[Richard Kahn]

I believe the dealers mounted them over the front wheel mostly cause they
could get to the underside of the mounting. Not very useful at that distance.
Image field too narrow. I mounted mine at 22 inches forward of  the door seam.
Better field. Many have put them on the door. this gives the best view. Sit in
thew driver seat and have someone hold the mirror at different places and see
what you like. Its personal as is the type of mirror you use. I like the dual
vintage Talbot bullets (green dots) with convex mirrors. They are designed to
be top mounted so you don't to get under the fender. You will need to drill
the fender so, as they say, measure twice (at least) drill once.
