KatoKid Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I prefer the JDM fender mirror look but I need to get through engineering and rego first so need to fit some compliant mirrors but dont want to drill holes in my doors to mount conventional mirrors. ......so has anyone seen a Z with these Rod style mirrors fitted to the door frame....http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-LONG-ARM-PEEP-MIRROR-OUTSIDE-SIDE-REAR-VIEW-DOOR-FRAME-HOT-STREET-RAT-ROD-PR-/330817568385 I actually like them and could be convinced to keep them if I can make them fit properly and if they are legal. Thoughts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceburner Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Would they attach to the stainless window frame? I like the stems, when fitted I don't think they'd look out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoKid Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Yep, to stainless frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I too am thinking of peep mirrors for the same reason. Don't want to drill holes in my doors. Thinking of the bullet type mind you.

Riceburner Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I like the bullet type a bit more, closer to the body and the convex lens would be handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Camouflage Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 and the convex lens would be handy But possibly not legal for the drivers side in most state i'd guess. Japanese imports over here require the factory convex mirror to be replaced with flat mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am used to large mirrors on late model cars and really struggle with the little ones that look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted February 9, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2015 I was looking at Raydyot mirros that attach to the stainless trim. To avoid drilling holes in my fenders or doors on my 72 240z. I like them as they are period correct and were used on Works race cars and the Rally Cars.

oldmates260z Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks Gav, do you have a photo a little further back to get a feel of the look? DO you get good rear vision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoKid Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 May be an option..http://performancewarehouse.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=743 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted February 9, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks Gav, do you have a photo a little further back to get a feel of the look? DO you get good rear vision? I don't have them on my car yet. The photo js from a Shelby Cobra. The works cars had them fixed to the door. Look at some 432-rs of the period also as I've seen them used on those also. I want to replace my 200b mirrors on my red 240z with these. In black they look good also.

Administrators gav240z Posted February 9, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2015 Example of Rally Car Replica's with these mirrors. Fuji Speedway (432-R) and another 432-R I've got more photos I can add later if requested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmates260z Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thanks Gav, they are on some nice cars and look cool. The link for Kato had some very nice options too, this one took my eye. Will adjust easily and 100mm dia. so I will be able to see stuff http://performancewarehouse.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=174&product_id=751 Or maybe: http://performancewarehouse.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=174_190&product_id=741 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
