Hilux mirrors

I have a 93 hilux and want to fit some mirrors like the 80 series or simlar to mount on the door in the original mounts has anyone got any idea's

surfs of the same era use a more normal car mirror on the same door but it will not bolt straight on, it would be different holes etc.

i'm pretty sure cruiser ones wont line up in the original holes on the door.

The mirrors off the surf (ln130) models bolt stright on though but not on the door itself, They replace the little black plastic triangle in the front corner of the triangular glass.

Only problems:

You have a black grommet thing underneath where the old ones went and two bolt holes, which makes it look a bit crap.

The frame of the flip out window is slightly in the way (but you get used to it)

on the good side is the passenger mirror is usually one of those wide angle mirrors, so its about 1000 times better than the original ones..and they are electric too if you can be bothered wiring them up.

heres how they look, pics not really close enough though..

do you have a style side or a tray back?

if you have a wide tray you will soon work out that the normal mirrors do not stick out far enough and all you will see is the front of your tray.

Hi

Thanks for your info and picture about the mirrors is it possible to get some closer photo’s front view and close-up view.
I went to a company called the panel house in Brisbane that supplies panels, grills lights ect and asked for a mirror for a LN130 that fit in the same spot but they look not much bigger than the standard one that mounts on the door in your photo it looks bigger could you let me know where you purchase your??

hi granta8082
i actually bought a whole surf with blown engine, diffs etc,for rediculously cheap, basically to use the turbo off it, and then started taking all the fancy bits off i could use and putting them on my lux .
i'll pop some closer pictures up later tonight, gotta charge the camera battery
