I know the genuine z ones aren't available any more (well the right one is) but I've seen some people are using the chrome 510 ones instead which from what I've read have a shorter stalk, my question is can these be mounted in the factory location without a restricted view?

Hi

I have a LH side for sell, see my ads

I bought the black not chrome, original Nissan mirrors last year. Got mine from Troy at datsunrestore.com

I also bought a set of the black Z fender mirrors in the original Nissan packaging from Datsun Spirit about a year ago. His website is under renovation at the moment, but should be back up soon.

Let me ask you guys something. I have loved the looks of these mirrors and toyed with getting a set. However, it became apparent to me that anytime you lean over to work on your car, this mirror will be poking you in the belly each and every time. You run the risk of bending the sheet metal and severely limiting your access to the engine.

How do you get around it.

They are spring mounted, so you shouldn't bend any metal.
