Problem is that you don't have cowl mounted mirrors. They set so far away it'd tough to see around the vent window frame, not counting the vibration. BTW yours look good. sort of a good compromise between cowl and peeps

I removed my stock '40 cowl mirrors, and mounted them on my doors.
Here are some pictures I just took. I can see whats behind me pretty good.

I like the utility of those mirrors on the doors.

Here are my wide angle peep mirrors on the top edge of the door that work great for me for any that might not want to drill into their doors.





And here's a different idea to cover the whole right side blind spot. A large mirror on the visor moved to its far left edge. You can see what it shows that the right side peep mirror doesn't.



Same view looking over my shoulder. The visor mirror actually shows more.


And a handy little gadget that covers the rear view mirror at night to reduce glare from lights coming behind. It's made of window tint material with a little magnet on the bottom edge to hold it down.



This is an earlier model without the magnet. Blew off easily with any breeze coming in through the vent windows so I added the magnet. You can see that you have to use the lightest material available because the darkness doubles when the light goes through it, bounces off of the mirror, and comes back through it again. Compare the darkness of the top one with light just coming through it once to the bottom one that's a double pass.
