Yeah, but from what I can see, I think the arm and head will fit on a dent set of type 9 brackets

Luckily whoever had the truck before put a big ole fish eye mirror in the top left corner. That works better than anything.

I put some leather between the tube and the mirror clamps and that seems to help. They're still adjustable but don't move around quite so much.

The other door still has a Type 2 (I believe west coast style). I'm not very fond of it either because it limits visibility.

What's your preference for the best mirror and why?

If these are what you are after and can wait till the lady gets the title for it, I am going with the type 3s . Be willing to swap them for 3s if that helps. We could pay our own shipping to be fair for everyone. Let me know.
