 |
|
My right-hand mirror is broken and causing visibility issues. I'd like to acquire a pair of LT mirrors, but GoWesty's price is over-budget. Campervan Culture sells them for quite a bit cheaper than Van-Cafe and Gowesty; though, I'm sure the shipping costs and wait time even it out...http://campervanculture.com/shop/truck-mirrors-syncro-mirrors-t3-t25-vanagon/
Anybody know of a good source for these mirrors that cuts out the middle man? They look pretty generic.

Gowesty is the place to buy them. You do realize that CVC list their parts in Pounds Stirling, not dollars, right?

Or hold out for some used ones for an even better price. That's how I got mine - removed from an imported van

Thanks for your input, but I specifically asked for vendors other than GoWesty. And, yes, I'm aware. Last I did the conversion it wasn't too bad.

| It may not be what you are looking for but someone posted a cheap alternative recently. I can't find the thread right now. But if you go to Amazon and search truck mirrors, they have some chromies for $28. |
