    Wing Mirror Question

    You need a pair of mirror brackets, they fit the Defender mirror to the series hinge. They are handed and the LH ones are easy to get, the RH are not. Search autojumbles/e-bay or buy 2 LH ones, and hammer the hell out of one until its RH...

    It should stop the door at 90 deg but a gust of wind will overcome that and get it stuck. Lie many I have a hook/rod arrangement on the outside.
