Hi All,

Does anyone know if these "square" mirrors work better then the "bullet" mirrors on the passenger (right) side of a left hand drive TR6.

Thanks,

Robert

They were fitted to both doors of a Triumph 2000 I had as a company car and I found them far better than the bullet mirrors I’d had years earlier on a Spitfire. Before you fit to the passenger door, I’d advise you have someone hold it so you’re sure it’s in the right position for use.

Is there a template floating around on where to place these mirrors on the
various Triumphs? I have  a Fed. Stag and the common ones used on a Stag
are useless.

I don't know if this applies to British cars, but Hollywood taught me
that the First Rule of Italian Driving is "What's behind you is not
important".

And...   As I found out, make sure not to block the operation of a vent window if it's a GT6! Ah yes, ask me how I know.
