David Marshall used to sell mirrors from the VW LT that are a nice
upgrade to the vanagon. I did not see them for sale on his website any
more but there are still photos of what they look like installed:

I think they're great and I actually bought a set on eBay.de (German
eBay). Unfortunately when I got them the bolt pattern did not match on
the bottom so I could not figure out how to install them. I imagine I
have just bought the wrong type, though I am thinking of just drilling
them out a bit.
