[Healeys] Mirrors

[Peter & Veronica]

G'day Mike

I got these - they clamp onto the front edge of the door. No drilling! Also 
easy to reach to adjust and the passenger side one is actually of some use. 
I did look at bullet style mirrors on the doors, but was put off by the 
drilling & the fact that the passenger side one had to be mounted at a weird 
angle to be of any use.

Cheers

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.
