Thread: Where can I get 4" convex (wide angle) side mirrors?

Tweet

The tiny 4" side mirrors on my '29 coupe make it very difficult to see my blind spots

I'd like to replace them with wide angle mirrors (convex), but still keep the same look as the ones I have now



Are bolt on 4" wide angle mirrors available or am I limited to the 4" stick on mirrors at VatoZone?

I wound up using those VatoZone bubble mirrors on my previous rod as they perfectly fit the mirror. I recently checked with a glass shop in town about a convex mirror for the passenger side of my deuce, and they told me they could recut an existing convex mirror to fit. You might check with your local glass shop to see if they can do the same. Nice coupe by the way!

Are the VatoZone mirrors actual glass or mirrored plexi? (it was hard to tell through the packaging)

Various motorcycle mirrors are convex and would look decent on a rod. I'm using some late model Harley mirrors off ebay.

I have 4" peep mirrors on my coupe and, like you, the right one was useless. A buddy gave me a tip that worked great and looks good too. I bought a generic 4" convex mirror, available anywhere, even Walmart. I then broke out the original glass in the peep mirror, then use silicone to glue the convex mirror in its' place. It looks good because it doesn't look like it's stuck on there, and best of all, it works!

Run over to a decent sized truck stop, or truck dealer.
They specialize in spot mirrors like that, and should have something that will bolt on, or stick to your existing flat mirror...
