Large standard Land Rover type Jamie ?
If the are, then they may have Australian spec. I have a pair at home, I can get you the numbers tomorrow. Mo The Land Rover 90 - Many are called, few are chosen. 50 Shades of Pennine Grey |

These type I'm after:
 Click image to enlarge Very similar to the ones used on the G461 professional (although with a different lower mounting bracket... these suit the G as they match the already mounted mirrors, but would work on a defender OK I think)... Click image to enlarge |

Would that be Wolf mirrors? Large together with longer arms are ideal for towing the tin tent. Just push in for daily use. Beware: the only arms that don't wobble are genuine LR ones, even Bearmach have problems. Can supply number if you want. Peter

I think the pulse ambulance ones are a bit too wide (very, actually)
Think I'll aim for the G type ones... I know some suppliers of those as well. thanks all |

I remember reading an article about these many, many years ago, and they were off some larger vehicle in the LDV range (as Ibexman has already said). Alas I cannot remember which. The mirror arms were off something Ford Cargo sized, but again I think it was LDV. Sadly I cannot now remember where I read this.
I have been told that those mirrors are actually a complete 'mare to live with since they obscure so much of the forward/sideways view. |

Yes blackwolf, the original camel ones are pretty big looking (Its been years since I saw one in the flesh)
Was at a friends place a couple of weeks ago and he has the >pur< mirrors on his G wagens, and they look very neat. Bit smaller than the DAF truck ones, and as you mention, they don't seem to hinder side vision too badly. |

Right OK, well for anyone looking for a genuine larger standard mirror rather than the aftermarket alternatives, Land Rover did these for the Australian market, part number MUC 3707.

Thanks Mo.
It was more the truck type mirror I was after. Just fancied something "different" Another job to add to the list.... |
