Title: What Mirrors Post by: RIP356 on December 07, 2013, 04:12:50 am My 67 doesnt have mirrors and as I am just about to paint it I was wondering what mirrors to fit?
I dont have access to a hinge pin removal tool so I cant fit mirrors on the pin. I dont like Albert ones. Do Talbot mirrors fit CalLook ? I also like the Durant ones that were fitted to 356's. Amy ideas or thoughts appreciated Dave Title: Re: What Mirrors Post by: Zach Gomulka on December 07, 2013, 05:25:27 am Do Talbot mirrors fit CalLook ? Have you seen Feb 75 HotVW's?! I also like the Durant ones that were fitted to 356's. I like to think so ;) Title: Re: What Mirrors Post by: deano on December 08, 2013, 20:13:29 pm Talbot mirrors have been in our scene since day one. The bad part is that mounting one so it looks good on the door, and being able to actually use it, are two completely different things.

I mounted one on my drivers door and it looked great, as for visibility.... I saw the rear fender and that was about it, on maximum adjustment outwards! If you could put a convex lens in so that it gave a wider field of view then they would be pretty functional. I think they're really meant to be mounted further forward on a quarter panel or something like that, I don't know?

I've fitted a Talbot with the larger mirror, really good rear vision :) Title: Re: What Mirrors Post by: cel on December 09, 2013, 02:37:37 am [attachment=1]
Hi! Talbot made a model for the beetle too, but these are very hard to find. With the double-arm mouning you can see pretty good. Nice greetings Marcel Title: Re: What Mirrors Post by: RIP356 on December 09, 2013, 08:53:32 am I would like something I can actually use!
Any suggestions? Thanks Dave Title: Re: What Mirrors Post by: nicolas on December 09, 2013, 11:39:40 am vitalloni mirror. not seen much, but wide and adjustable ;)

Title: Re: What Mirrors Post by: Jon on December 09, 2013, 14:12:06 pm Vitaloni Tornado, as cal look as they get. With good rear vision. I expected them to be shit, but they have held up nice... they are firm and are not rattling and shaking the rear view.
Title: Re: What Mirrors Post by: V.Meslet on December 09, 2013, 14:37:05 pm The baby Tornado were used quite a lot for 80-90s cal look. I'm still a great fan and like the rear view that they provide.
