[TR] Rear View Mirrors

Tue Apr 2 12:59:44 MDT 2019

Rye, were you asking about the plexiglass wind deflectors interfering with the mirrors? I have these https://www.holden.co.uk/p/overtaker_mirror_door_edge_round_100mm_flat_glass  on my TR3 with the wind deflectors and there is no issue mechanically. I picked these mirrors because they could be taken apart  and reconfigured for either side of the car so I could put one on each side. I was not real happy with the passenger side because it didn’t give a large field of view, so I stuck a 3” convex mirror form Pep Boys on top of it. Just fits, not too noticeable.

The TR3 was not made for rainy days. The 4 and 6 are much better protected from rain.

If I am out in the 3 and it starts raining, both me and my wife will get wet! The 4 and 6 not so much.

But I avoid rainy days regardless of what car I am driving.

No, I would have to remove it in the unlikely event that I had to use the sidescreens. If it looks like rain I take the TR6 with its fancy wind up windows.

Can you still run the side wind screens with this mirror?

Terry, there are a number of options but this mirror from Summit is cheap and works quite well clamped to the tenon plate. I use this on my TR3A and got this idea after seeing Tim Huchinson’s TR3 at Day Of Triumph a few years ago.

I’m a few miles south of you close to Nashua and the glacier in the front yard is receding. Hope to be driving a TR soon.

Hello, everyone.  Happened to be looking at a '59 TR3 on Bring a Trailer and noticed it had a side view mirror mounted on the stanchion.  I can't recall ever seeing that before, but I kinda liked it.  Is this familiar to anyone here?
