Driver's door mirror

Anybody got a driver's door mirror with 3.25in. long chrome plated base with SS mirror back directly attached? (To match n/s one I already have.) The previous owner crafted a beautiful mirror which fits on the door-frame, but it has a very long non-moving rod between the mirror head and the door and I am very concerned that it could do enormous damage were a cyclist to hit it (or worse, were I to hit a pedestrian). any help gratefully received.

Hi Ian - any chance of posting a picture of the one you want to match? I think I know the one you mean - but then I have a vivid imagination :twisted:

Hi Chris,
I have so far failed to get any pictues posted, despite several attempts, and helpful advice - I cannot get them small enough! If I can be so cheeky as to ask you to post a picture of what you may have, and accompany it with simple instructions comprehensible to an old man, of what you did to get it there, I would be very grateful indeed.Then following your instructions, I'll try to get some piccies up. Thanks,


Ian
 
I'd be very happy to do a swap, if you don't mind invalidating your insurance (undeclared modifications and all that stuff). There are mirrors on e-Bay that are ALMOST right, but I hope to get a matching one before too long. I used to be a Beetle owner, and still have an equivalent mirror for the passenger side, which you can have as a matched (almost) pair of cyclist killers, and can take out two cyclists/pedestrians at the same time. My daughter was unhappy about my taking her daughter out in the Beetle, (on safety grounds) although she herself had got married from it - maybe the fact that she and her bridesmaid had to push it to get it restarted after we stopped to put on the ribbons affected her judgment - but doesn't everybody know that the starter solenoids get sticky when the engine has run for more than an hour?
So I now have the safest car of its generation, (which was what I got married from and went on honeymoon in) and don't want to squander its credentials by a beautiful and very clever modification which is potentially lethal. So if anyone has a correct period driver's door mirror that they can spare, (or a matched pair) they will make an old man very happy - but I'd prefer not to have the sixties' round mirrors, or wing mirrors.
Thanks,
 
But can't we be tri-polar? When I'm a pedestrian I hate drivers and cyclists; as a cyclist, I hate pedestrians and drivers; and the complementary feelings occur when I'm a driver - but we have to sublimate our animal instinct for the greater good of society. Yes, I have been drinking, but not THAT much,
