West coast mirrors
« on: August 19, 2011, 10:53:34 pm »
I already have 3 point towing mirrors on the truck, but are there suppliers of the top post to be able to atatch a WCM?  Canadian Tire sells the replacement rectangular mirror heads but not the mountings, I'd prefer new but if it comes to it I'd sand blast a used set from a wrecking yard(almost 4 hour drive for me, so you understand why used is difficult).

     Are you asking if someone makes a attachment mirror to your mirrors like towing mirrors ?

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

So what your after is mirror brackets somewhat like these?



I bought some new stainless ones at a Bumper to Bumper store.  Heated mirrors with amber lights on them as well.  Mine don't look exactly like the one in the picture, couldn't find a good picture of what mine look like.

The new brackets can be bought at a few places, may pay less if you happen to find a set in a wrecking yard though.

I think the company that makes that kinda stuff is called "Grote".

I'm pretty sure you can get their stuff at Gregg Distributors in Edmonton.  But I couldn't tell you if it would be a whole kit or if you can piece it together.
