78/280 Mirrors

[jcb]

I would like to install a right side mirror on my 78/280. I am looking at the pair of mirrors from Z Specialties that sell for about $35. Has anyone used these and if so what do you think? Quality and how you think they look on the car. Does the mirror really help that much? The price seems good, maybe too good. Any other suggestions.. Thanks for any info. JB

Here's something Blue ran into with his aftermarket mirrors, not sure of the make. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/exterior/mirrors/index.html.

Hope that helps.

Cheap you can pick up the same type at auto supply store.

I have them they work OK but better off with old datsun SAP or 100 dollar aftermarket mirrors.

I like having a right side mirror. It helps. The mirrors that make objects "closer than they appear" are better for the passenger side. Wider angle.

Thanks for the replies. Will look for them at local stores first. JB
