Hi, I have found a source in the USA for these truck mirrors. I have got a set already, but haven't got around to fitting them. (As usual) There is a thread on the samba with some pics http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=276676&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=truck+mirrors&start=20 Here is a picture: This is a similar unit to a gen option VW USA mirror I forgot to take a actual picture of mine, so this is a stock photo to give you a idea. The mirror head is 5x10 inches, so a good size, and look the same as seen on many buses on the forum. The price at the moment give or take a little due to the currency should be about £75, and i have included postage in that too. These are going from most sources for at least £100 a set plus post Add your names to the list if you are interested, i will be ordering in the week or so. Cheers, Alistair
Note that the hole is visable for the original mirror mount as the owner wanted to run a cd radio cable down there Do you have any pictures of yours fitted? Cheers! Alistair
Hi, Right, I am looking to close this in the next few days, so those who expressed a interest, i will be contacting you soon. I have left this as late as possible to try and get a few more names on before i order, and have put a thread on the late bay, prototype bay, and the split screen van club, and have a few more names. Delivery is now gonna be after Xmas, so i will be looking for a deposit to secure, as you can appreciate, it's quite a outlay for me, so watch out for a PM if you are on the list. Cheers! Alistair
Hi guys Have you received these mirrors yet? Got any pics of em fitted? i'm really liking the truck mirrors, thinking they'd look sweet on my panel van but would like your personal experience living with them.
Hi, Yes, I got delivery months ago, no takers on here, sold the batch i had through the SSVC and earlybay forums. A lot of the guys are running winter resto's or refresh, so not everyone has got them fitted, me included, have a look on the earlybay forum, some of the guys have posted pictures. Doubt i will get any more at this price Cheers, Alistair
Hi Alistair Have you sold all you had or can you get more? I missed this 1st time round but would definately be up for a set!!
I found some on amazon.com that were very similar, about 10" x 5". Assuming they were sold separately, two packs came to £60.00 including international delivery. Just look for jr west coast mirrors. I am tempted but thought i'd see how everyone else got on with theirs before I took the plunge. http://www.amazon.com/CIPA-47500-Coast-Mirror-Bracket/dp/B00029WSZ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332015914&sr=8-1
I like em They would definitely help manovering in my panel van, can be a bit tricky with the tiny mirrors lol. They probably won't look so obvious once the chrome has weathered a bit. Can't imagine them staying really shiny for long at that price, which isn't such a bad thing for me, Pumpkin isn't eactly shiny either lol
