Peep mirrors
 

Hi guys another question LOL hope I’m not being a pest. I bought some peep mirrors for my ‘30 Tudor. Driver side seems to work ok but the passenger side is completely worthless. Looks good but no adjustments seem to help. Any suggestions?

I use a convex mirror on the right.


You can see a lot better.

you can buy them stick on, i put one rite on top of existing lens. the only thing is its still a bit hard to judge the distance out of that mirror.

"Objects are closer than they appear"

I use a 6" Convex mirror on both sides of my pickup. Love them!

I have used this one on the right for several years and it has just enough adjustment to give a good view.

No Lenny! Your'e not being a pest or asking too many questions. The sad facts are that as the old-timers who knew "A"s when they were a more commonly used vehicle, drop off, there's no one to take their place. Our only hope is to trade our information by asking a lot of questions on a forum. Keep on asking as many as you can think of. Someone, neither of us knows will be reading it and using the info.
Good Luck!

Put motorcycle mirrors (convex) on mine. Made hinge pin brackets , used metric bolts for hinge pins.

Re: Peep mirrors
 

OK Jack! You've got my attention! What size metric bolts would that be? 6mm - .240 , 7 mm - 280 Hinge pins are around .250.

Full shoulder 6mm… provided your other hinges are good they work fine
