dasterdly Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 hello, am i right in thinking the mirror arms are longer than a standard defender one ? does anybody know how much further it sticks out compared to a standard one ? and does anybody have a part number ? just thought they would be better fitted for towing a caravan etc. cheers...

OrbitalPear Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 One arm is longer than the other to overcome having the spare on the side. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Yes, the arm is longer on the side that has the spare wheel fitted. also the arms are different to the rest of the 90/110 range as the mirror heads are different ad have a different fixing method. if you want to buy them: MTC 5083 Mirror Arm, Short RRC 8400 Mirror Head RRC 8443 Mirror Arm, Long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 May be wrong but seem to recall LDV convoy & 400 vans , Luton & pickups use the same bits. May be worth a wander round the scrappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasterdly Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 hello, the ldvs we have at work, unfortunatly dont have long mirror arms, and we have both the new model and the older ones, dont know about the lutons and pickups though :-) thank you for the part numbers. cheers...

JST Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 these mirrors can be a bugger to get to stay in the right position on the arm!!! i would stick with the std mirror and if longer arms are needed try the ones paddocks do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge 4x4 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 JST is right! They are useless and fold down at any speed over 40mph! They are also made of plastic not glass, so scratch more easily making it harder to see anything in them! TOP TIP: if you see a Wolf indicating, give him room as he wont be able to see you!!

Neil Marshall Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 LDV pickups must have longer arms - some have wide beds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
