Doug:
I was really picky about mirrors as my 65 MGB was used as a daily
commuter. I was happy with the 2 screw mount door mirror that Moss
carries (223-310). It's a repro of the original Lucas mirror and looks
like it belongs on the early car. It does not have bounce back
capability, but I didn't have any problems with it getting knocked out
of position.
Make sure whatever mirror you choose will tilt inward enough for good
visibility and does not foul the quarterlight.

Subject: Which mirror is best?
I have a '66 MGB that will be on the road within the next month. I
need to purchase a driver side mirror. I had the previous mirror holes
filled in when the car was painted. I am not concerned about
originality. This car will be a daily driver. I've spent quite a bit
of time driving my father's '73B with the mirrors that are
spring-loaded and will rotate 90 degrees if needed. These are kinda
cool and I'm comfortable with them.
It appears that Moss does not have these spring-loaded mirrors. So,
has anyone out there tried those bullet style mirrors with 3"
flat/convex or 4" flat mirrors? What about the Raydot racing mirrors?
Are the original style (for a '66) just as good?
What type of mirrors do you guys really like?
