The Right Fender Mirrors...

[VintageNissanEnthusiast]

Hey everybody. 

 

Since purchasing my Z I have been on the hunt for fender mirrors...

 

Now I am sure they have been discussed in detail many times before, and I have done a little bit of homework on them. I understand that Datsun 510 mirrors are very similar but have a shorter stalk? 

 

I have also noticed that many people use Bullet Mirrors also....

I have attached some images of cars with the bullet style mirrors and Classicsman's 240z that is up for sale with I think original 240z fender mirrors? 

 

I would prefer original mirrors but not sure where to locate them or there cost. Does anyone use either of these on there Z? 

 

Thanks!

I prefer the original 240z fender mirrors, best bet is to keep an eye out on yahoo japan.

I have a set of the 510 mirrors for sale in the for sale section. Same style as S30z mirrors although yes, a slightly shorter stalk

Are genuine S30 fender mirrors only available in black?

They look like 510 mirrors painted black to me... The base section on the shorter ones is a bit different.

 

What is the year of 240z that was purchased? 72 and 73 models had a single door mirror (not fender mirrors) if you're looking for strict originality.

This car has plastic ebay clones. Have a look at the stalks, completely different.

Hmm I am no fan of plastic mirrors. At all. I think that as I want chrome ones, I will have to look for 510 ones!
