Defender mirrors on series 3

[crispy]

Do defender mirrors fit on a series 3.Do you just swap the hinges over from a defender. Can anyone put up a picture ? Do they look OK ......


Thanks.......

Yes they fit fine. You can either drill the top hinges to suit or swap them for some already drilled ones.

They look fine and are about a million times better than the earlier ones.

Yup they fit.

Yes they definitely fit. I have just put them on mine but I have to admit they don't really look very "series". I will put up with that though because they actually work, unlike the ones that came with it on the front of the guards .

I used the defender hinges as well. It looks like the standard ones don't have quite so much metal where the hole would have to go through.

I have also seen some that were attached to the windscreen hinge pins that looked more like a series mirror.

Late series 3 had mirrors that were similar to defender but still look series

Hi - I've got complete mirrors to go on my S3. How easy is it to pull them apart so you put them on...I gave the column insert a whack but it didn't move? Sounds like Defender hinges are the way for forward... the mirror hinge holes are quite small and threaded, anyone know what size bolt/screw I should use?
