Re: Flat Or Convexed Mirror??
Drivers side definately flat.
Passengers side flat too but a small convex one stuck on bottom of it.
When I bought my bus it had 6 mirrors on it.
I now have 4 sitting in a box.
How big are your flat ones Dot?
Westcoasters may look too big....... you can get half size ones.
Try to get ones with LED clearance lights inbuilt if you can.

Have just got the original convexed ones on the bus. Is it possible to have them replaced by a glass place?admin wrote:Drivers side definately flat.

I'll see if I can find a photo of them on the forum.
Usually cheaper and more convenient to just replace them.
These are good but may look silly on your rig. More for F250 etc.

Re: Flat Or Convexed Mirror??
Both on both sides. Sometimes you get someone sitting up under your mirror view, especially in a larger vehicle, on the drivers side. You don't see them until you pull out on top of them or they go berserk. Definitely flat and convex, both sides.

Re: Flat Or Convexed Mirror??
Well I beg to differ to all of you... I prefer the the convex ones. With all the Jap cars imported to NZ there wasn,t a choice we got used to them... I think they give a broader view than the flat ones, Just got to allow for distance.... Some cant...
