how much longer are the Wolf type arms than standard ?

My Wolf arms are quotted at being 290mm, I've just measured them, from the centers of the mouting pins at either end measures 265mm. The final width depends on which mirrors you fit and how you orientate them (landscap/portrait). With large heads in portrait mine measure 360mm from the door hinge to the edge of the mirror.

Thanks to all,

Finally I got a pair of new arms from e-bay UK for 40 GBP that as I saw in the market is a fair price.
Grockle, be prepared!

Cheers Eduardo

Lorry,
Probably I will receive it next week. So, no fitted yet.
As soon as I finish to install it I will post some photos.

Cheers! Eduardo

If the picture is correct, this is one of the alternative (pattern?) ones.
These mount with the arm at 90° and 45°.
The Wolf arms mount at 85° and 30°

Yep, finally I bought the alternative ones (Britpart) and I hope that will fit and last at least some years.
My intention is use only for towing and back again to the originals at the end of the camping season.

I didint realize that had a different open angles, but we will see.

Cheers, Eduardo

I've got Wolf ones on mine.
The others will give a wider rear view, possibly better.
I've got a set to try sometime.
