I've had a few close calls from lack of visibility so I fabbed a passenger mirror mount from aluminum scrap. It allows for a perfect view of passenger side. Much safer! Good view for ANY year bug - if you don't mind drilling to mount a permanent fixture.
The peep has a convex over it--but really limited

That bracket looks very suitable. I wouldn't drill any new holes in my door, so I wonder if installing a hinge mirror with lengthened stem would look weird. |

I’m just wondering where the rear side windows are! Is this a sedan panel van? |

BGW sedan delivery, More pics in kit car under "BGW". This is needed on this car but I'm considering one for my '71 bug, since it provides a much safer view.
I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only guy on the planet who has a BGW sedan delivery. A lot like a Wizard, but different rear door. _________________ "A life of peace and happiness depends on your own gratefulness" |
