Can we revist passenger side mirrors?

[Steve Meltzer]

I know that KRs did not come from the factory with side view mirrors on the passenger side. However, many have been installed by dealers and owners since that time. Since I drive my KR as often as I can, I'd like to have that sideview mirror for visibility and safety. Is it possible to get the mirror both symmetrical with respect to the original driver side mirror and, at the same time be able to actually see out of it?  I've noted on some European cars that the symmetrical look of the mirrors does not allow one to actually use the mirror effectively! (This has happened to me on two of my own cars already.) Any suggestions for finding one that is as originals as possible for the passenger side, mounting information or anything else that would help me with this endeavor? Thanks, Steve

Yes you can get find a righthand mirror that matches. You will need to drill two holes in-the door and shoot a couple of rivet nuts in there.

Will you be able to see anymore, not much.

[Steve Meltzer]

Is the small improvement because the mirrors themselves are small or because you can't get them in the correct position, or exactly what do you think is the reason that they seem relatively worthless? Thanks, Steve.

[Coralsnake]

Yes, they are small with minimum ability to adjust them

I thought there was an aftermarket Convex Mirror that covers the existing Mirror to fix that problem?

Have seen aftermarket stick-on mirror for 69-70 but not 68:

There is also aftermarket 67-68 convex mirror assembly:

Looks like a very nice car + has AC , red Jag on the lift is interesting also , I own a KR that's been sitting for over 30 years and it needs work I'm just too lazy to play with it. Thanx Steve.

Yeah, just sold the red XKE coupe (nice car, great paint) on bring a trailer about a month ago. It had to go to new home to make room for the Shelby. Lost my ass on that one, but have made up for it elsewhere. s
