my new convex mirrors

Some time ago I bought a pair of convex mirrors,They're designed for new International trucks, so mounting bracket is for 3/4 - 1" supporting bar.
I've used some thick rubber as a spacer as Unimog's bar is only 1/2 - 5/8" thick.
So far so good and there is a benefit of rubber in between bracket and bar as it kills all the vibration, so the view is very steady unlike the regular mirrors.
The mirrors were @67 CAD each.

Those are nice, it rejuvenates the mog.

Where did you got those mirrors from ?

You could probably use a third one as a side "down" mirror, would give a complete coverage of the passenger side

...and yes, the side down mirror is on its way from Euro Truck Importers.
The convex ones I bought at "International Truck" dealership.

Those are nice. I use one similar to this mounted over my front winch and aimed back to my head so I can watch the cable spooling on to the drum. Works well.
