I am looking to buy two clamp type door mirrors, left and right. Any suggestions? Thinking of round type or bullet type and has to be cool!!
These might not be clamp on mirrors but I think they are very cool!
Mounting them was easy using rivnuts, bought from Passione500.
Do you have a right one also and is it effective?
I'm not one for drilling holes in cars as they always seem to rust there..
but I must confess... I picked these mirrors up for Ian... and I was very impressed with the quality, look and feel of them....
I am tempted myself to be honest.....
I like your mirror Bambino Classic.
Lucas make a mirror that appears to be very similar to the one you've got. You'd have to check with a retailer to find out what the screw spacing is.

It looks beyond restoration as is, I think the round mirror part was painted black (or something) and seems to need more work to save than would be worth it .
I'm not an expert but you may find that is an original "Albert" mirror... so yes the effort makes it worth saving.. have a look at Josh's thread (Zinger Customs) as he restored an original mirror on the Jolly he did...
Most of the repro stuff is not a patch on some of the original stuff and if it has lasted this long then it is a testament to the original quality...

Ok here i am with my new mirrors installed, i think they look nice and they are also effective, special the right one which has even better view if you put it upside down as i have installed them. Thanks again for the tips
Looks good!
After singing the praises of these mirrors (or at least something very similar) in my previous thread, one of them broke last week! I didn't hit anything, the arm just broke snapped/sheared as I shut the door.
I think they're pretty heavy, so the weight of the unit probably puts a bit of pressure on the weakest part of the arm as the door comes to an abrupt stop when closing. I've switched them now for the disc style of mirrors (rather than the heavier cone shape).
Sorry to read this, I certainly hope this isn't something that going to happen to mine! Being a D, suicide doors, my mirrors are at the latch end of the door, so they might be under more stress, or less, as I shut the doors?
