[80] Custom-made wide-angle side mirrors, possible group-order
Dear group(s),
Anyone interested in a custom-made wide-angle mirror, to be placed on
top of the factory mirror?
3/4 of this mirror offers normal enlarged vision, outside 1/4 shows a much
wider angle (distinguished by a thin black etched line in the glass).
I had a set of these on my HJ-60, but crashed one recently (may the
bastard of that other van have 10 times more damage than I!....;((,
so I had to dig out my archive to check where I ordered them 10 years
ago. Back then they were a stock item (not Toyota of course, but from
glass/optics company), but sadly they have become a custom-order type
since then.
While I am at it, I also want to order one or more sets for a
HDJ-80 (stock angle of view is a bit larger than a 60 (the earlier
60's with metal mirrors are of course much worse), but not much
IMHO....these dedicated wide-angle mirrors are really
top-notch....also with a slight blue coating to dampen reflection at night.
Price will be US$50 each; if there are enough people for a larger order, I
might be able to include shipping, definately when ordered as a set
of two (although they look as if they can simple be flipped
upside-down/left-right for the other side, most still have a
different stock number for left vs right).
As someone deeply involved in the technical side of
optics/photograhy, I can honestly state these are quality
optics....they lasted almost 10 year on my 60, without any
degradation (apart from my silly move to reglue the mirror with
construction-type silicone-rubber....that stuff is acid, and metal
doesn't like acid, and guess what, the reflective layer is
metal....8-))
(in that context, I was glad I crashed that side-mirror, and not the
other one....:))....and even more glad that I could still order these
mirrors (production shifted significantly from aftermarket to OEM,
even though most OEM mirrors have a much milder wide-angle effect,
definately not as effective).
If anyone is interested, please email me privately, not to the list.
