Since I need wider mirrors to see past my camper I fitted Wolf 10" arms and larger heads however the paint peeled they corroded (Not OEM) and the mirrors wobbled above 40mph, due to being mounted on a ball at the bottom.
 Click image to enlarge So I investigated alternative and found that Britax make suitable mounts with the same 60mm spacing between the bolts (Britax are the OEM for LR mirrors) these consist of a tubular arm and a head that is back mounted. Click image to enlarge They dont wobble and I can swing them out to be the equivalent of a 9" arm when the camper is mounted. All are approved and E marked so no issues with MOT. Part Numbers are: Mirror Head 7180.301.A Mirror Arm 7200.025.A See Britax Website http://www.britax-pmg.com Britax dont sell direct so I purchased through http://www.soloeng.com Would be quite easy to fit secondary blind spot mirror and heated mirrors.

Yes I did and the same happened to the replacements... That is when I learnt the lesson of after market quality. 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper
