It works great attached to the panel above the windshield, and isn't so big that it blocks your front visibility. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | I used one from a BMW 735. Attached to the windshield divider bar. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 | Thanks guys,  Could you post a picture of the installation? Britcon, Did you drill an oversize hole & re-thread the divider bar or did the BMW mirror stem fit? Harold

I drilled a hole in the end of the arm, and used a long stainless steel cap screw which threaded into the holes in the divider bar. Mirror was from an older ( mid 90's ) 735 so it didn't have all the bells and whistles the new ones have ( compass / auto dimming ) | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 | I won't be able to snap a picture until the weekend, but I'll try to post one. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 888 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 888 | Some pics start Here Maybe help.

Thanks. This gives me a reference point.
How is the visibility from the mirror mounted that high in the cab?

Picture 63 in build link shows it. It's a small mirror I picked up off of ebay. | | |
