Mr Davie - I've "invented" a side mounting a-la military wolf consisting of military bracket and a special-invenshun-bracket, specifically for a hard top...

I also have one of the wolf long wing mirror arms going spare (but pricey)

Here's a picture of the ootside - my fabricator can knock one up for you if ye want.

if thats legal id ne after 2 muddy
 
wolfs (wolves?) have them and theres a fair few of them on the roads, some in civvy ownership - not to mention the innumerable wolf-a-like clones - when the wheel is on it's just a big bit of rubber and when theres no wheel on (which is unlikely) my holder just unbolts.

I spoke with plod and mot chap and the only thing they want is a longer mirror arm and preferably a big yellow reflective sticker on the end of the mirror. They'd also prefer it only mounted offside which it is. The white bit is a genuine landy part mounted in the correct location

It doesn't project as far as the wheelarch eyebrows and as said its better than sheets of glass!!

Anyway here's a fartistic impreshun of the finished Born-Again-Edith-expedition-twin-tank-90...
