I posted in that Samba thread.� Not all of us have access to early bay Westy parts vans which have those mirrors still intact (how many can there be out there?), and so must rely on imagination and experimentation to achieve the result we want.� The guy with the copper tube suggestion got it right.� Works, looks acceptable, cheap and easy.

Lame.���first of all those homemade extentions look retarted, and� they

just remove the stock vanagon mirror completely...and install the
