Austin Vert Reviews Convex Passengers Mirror

[EBSTANG]

Good job! Those modern stick tapes are so cool. I started using them for many things from holding things in place until I have a free hand to downright using them outside to hang things up on the wall.

Nice touch with the matte black stick. You could make them, give them a funky name and sell them. There´s money on the street you just need to pick it up.

Thanks Mike,

Yeah, we could market it as Austin Vert's Mighty Mirror Adjuster.

I must say i always thought it was rather poor the Ford did not offer a cable remote controlled passengers side mirror for the Mustangs like other models of the day did. Especially when you consider what a safety advantage and a practical advantage that concept brings to the car.

Ah yes, the old pre electric mirror days!

Austin Vert for President!!! If you win, you could come to the States and I'd let you live in my shop. Just remember to bring all your paint detailing equipment!

Hi to all,

Just wanted to give a quick review of the Scott Drake convex passengers side external mirror for the 123 Mustangs.This mirror caught my eye, seemed like a good idea, so i thought i would buy it and give it a try.

Just ordered one, I kept swearing to buy one of those small rectangular ones, that you glue onto truck mirrors, every time I use that mirror, and trying to look over my shoulder, trying not to cut somebody off. This is a much better option.

I, tightened up the pivot ball by re staking the rivets.

I didn't know how to tighten this up, I currently have a piece of foam wedged under my mirror trying to keep it up so that I am not just looking at the rear tire all the time. ::thumb::

Initially I taped it on over the old mirror, so I removed it, broke out the old mirror, and put it on with black RTV- it works great now.

That sounds like the kinda thing I'll probably do also ...::devil::

I just picked one up at NPD in Ocala, Fl and it fits perfectly... Great idea and it works.

Thanks for saying where you bought your convex mirror. I've been looking, but not found it on CJ Pony or Summit Racing....... not to say it's not there, could have just missed it in the listings.

However, in an earlier post from me, I described how I enlarged the actual viewing area....... on both sides. Yet to be tested on the road, but sitting in the garage, it does look promising. ( when I get my engine back in, it will be road tested!!) Surprisingly, there were no comments on this idea, perhaps because it is not a cheapo mod. To me, a bigger mirror has got to be better, but at least there is now an alternative, which I likely would have used had I known about it.
