Fender Mirrors

[josh280z]

Hi, my name is Joshua. I have built up my 280zx from a wrecked pile. I've replaced engine, went through the systems all in my own garage, with the help of an old Chilton manual, how to rebuild your datsun OHC engine, and Hybridz. It's been a long process(as I'm sure you might have guessed).

 

After breaking my leg mid-February of this year, I decided my car had some rough edges that needed to be addressed. Some of the items included paint job, mirrors, dash work and some small rust repair on the front strut towers. I have the paint job under way, and is much better than the sub-standard paint job I previously applied, most of the other problems I was having...

 

An issue I'm having at the moment is mirrors. The passenger mirror is broken and and the driver's side mirror does not move at all..... So I purchased some fender mirrors. Similar shape to the original mirrors, but definitely aftermarket. Now, I have scoured the internet as best I can to find some measurements for fitting the fender mirrors to the 280zx. My results have come up lacking.

 

Please help me with some simple measurements for the fender mirrors so that I may be able to see.

I'm at work at the moment but I know there was measurement diagram over at hybridz that I downloaded but unsure if the will work for the 280z. Will post it when I get home.

Ah yes, I have seen the RHD S30 fender mirror measurements. Unfortunately, they wont work for the S130 that has been discussed before.... I do appreciate the help.

 

Would this be the thread to which you are referring?

I'm not trying to discount or anything I'm just trying to find the right answers and put my car back together.

I didn't think about that, I am doing some research for you and I will see if I can find anything.
