Bullet racing mirrors

Post by Rustbucket »

So, I am lucky enough to have a pair of original Talbot green dot racing mirrors, not strictly period for a '60B but I like em................

Has anyone ever fitted a set to their 356, and if so, what is the best position? I dont know whether to go for up by the windscreen/ bonnet edge area, on the top+ to side of the wings about 1/3 rd down, or maybe even on the door itself. I have to drill holes for any mirror I fit so I am not too bothered about that side of it, I just know they are buggers to see things in! :roll:
Contact me if you have any 356b coupe parts !!!!

I'd wait till the seats are in - then get someone to position the mirror so you can see behind - then play around a bit for actual mounting position -

there thats my two pennys worth :wink:

Would you be interested in selling your original Talbot mirrors to me?

Thanks

This is an old thread, but mine are on me doors. Passenger side one is entirely useless as a way of seeing behind you, though!

Mine are repros I'm sure - theyre not expensive in the states, if memory serves..
