Anybody ever installed vintage datsun fender mirrors, ....on a 914...or have pics? Options

...as the title implies, has anyone ever tried or seen or have pics of a 914 with fender mounted mirrors, similar to many older Datsuns? Part of me thinks it would be a good look, but can't quite wrap my brain around it without pics.

period correct - yes

- on japanese cars they were then required by law, and also in some euro countries

if you race your 914 you will understand why they are extremely useful - you don't have to turn your head to see overtaking traffic (oem door mirrors are useless!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

you see Raydyots on many Brit cars, and they are well received concours items in those circles - extensively repro'd & Talbot 300's are considered correct on period Cobras - you'll a lot of these at vintage racing

Talbot here on a '68 911 at RRV Porsche factory display

Talbot here on my car at WSIR - i leave 'em off unless on track, cuz yes they are ugly on street, especially if one also has door mirrors - (concours judges always go apoplectic over the mount holes unless i remember to plug 'em before they see the car)



a set of orig'l chrome-on-brass Talbots is worth a good bit, fyi (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
