Jap spec bonnet mount zed mirrors

[Murph]

I imagine these wouldn't be a legal fitment in australia, or would they? Now that I think of it I have seen a few obscure old jap cars getting around with bonnet mounted mirrors.

They worth any reasonable money?

Seems a friend of mine has come up with some over in the solomon islands of all places. Should have some more details from him shortly.

If anyone is interested in them, let me know.

Yes, these are a legal fitment in Australia. I have seen several cars here with them fitted and they were fully registered and road worthy.

May be interested. Let us know when you get some info.

Just because you've seen them on a road registered car doenst make them legal. Just means the cops haven't been bothered to pull them over and sticker the car.

If you want to know if they are legal ask your local inspection center. State laws vary.

I've just finally heard back from my mate in the Solomons. He wants to know how many ppl are interested in these mirrors. I think we'd be looking at under a $100 for a pair anyway. Maybe less.

I've just asked if they're genuine and the condition, should have a reply soon.

Can you post a pic of what they look like?

I'd be interested in a pair.

Still haven't heard anything back from him. Seems he can't get at a computer over there too often. Will pass on any info I get as soon as I get it.

Why so important? Is there a big difference between that and something like a Talbot mirror? Or just what you want for some reason?

[Mr Camouflage]

I expect they are after exact replicas, not just any similar looking mirror.

[TomoHawk]

You know the talbots are the quintissential European-style racing mirror... I wouldn't know if they are similar to t he Jap-spec mirrors in question.

[evo1]

Are you able to post a picture or link to these?

Thanks

[Murph]

Afraid not.

My mate seems to only be able to get at a computer over there every few months or so. Still waiting for replies. He's coming home in a month or two, so I'd expect we'll hear from him soon.
