[Healeys] Where to put my mirrors.

[Patrick & Caroline Quinn]

G'day

I have noticed that a lot of US cars have the mirrors placed right down the
front of the front guards (fenders to you blokes).

I know it was a legal requirement in Japan for such a placement, but was it
the same in the US?

One Austin-Healey with mirrors about 6 metres in front of the windscreen.
One Austin-Healey without any external mirrors (it looks better that way)

Greg - On the door... I am 6 ft and the same mirrors are fine. 
 
[ps, they are not 6 inch SUV mirrors........]
 
You just need to get the adjustment right. 
 
Have someone move the mirror while you sit in your driving position and lock
them there.
 
Front fender mirrors spoil the fender line....

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.
