They left the left bracket on the door hinge but only left the bolt on the right. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and GOD BLESS.

If they arent long enough you could make a small bolt on arm extension. But be warned, these are not steel like the originals, their either aluminum or pot metal. I ordered a few for my COE and broke the bottom ear off the passenger side when I was tapping the hinge pin through. It just needed a little wiggle to align, but I didnt have any warning, and it snapped right off.

I bought a set for my 38 but I'm not thrilled with the extensions they bolt on and fold up. only had a mirror on the left side on my 38 decided to add right side. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | The '46 Chevy 2 ton I had, (now owned by philip t, of this website), had a long mirror bracket option 210, like in this '41-'46 truck accessory link, http://www.brads41-46chevys.com/id25.html | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 224 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 224 | yea spanks thats a cool mirror. you gotta be careful it will

Of course they're not as cool as the other style but I've never seen one of those for sale. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,997 Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,997 | There is a truck on ebay that has that cool optional rear view mirror.

The ones I had as old original look pretty simply to make if you did. they are steel round tube in tube design w/ a locking screw in middle. I think two 12" tubes should be fine for an extenion of 18-20" I will check to see if I have a matched pair. How much are you willing to offer? If anything, I will have the average round driver and square passenger but with extension arms. [email protected] | | |
