Pickup Door Hinge Pin Mirror

[rfitzpatrick]

On E-Bay someone is selling: 1935-47 Pickup Door Hinge Pin Mirrors. Has anyone ever tried one on say the middle door hinge -- right-hand side?
My right side mirror (upper hinge) just can not be adjusted to provide any use, like it's there for looks.
Thanks Guys

What age and model car do you have ?

Can you attach a photo of your door showing all hinges ? I may be able to show you how I overcame the mirror problem on my 1932 Cabriolet.


Also, a close-up image of a hinge would help.

Rfitz...assume you got my photos. Are you managing to make a mirror to fit your truck ?

I bought one for my 29 AA, had to grind it to fit and every time I close the door I have to adjust it again, there may be a fix but I don't know it.

I have those hinge pin mirrors on the upper hinge of both doors on my 30 Tudor. Work fine and are angled for best moving and parking view. Occasionally, about every couple of months I have to tighten the little allen screws because the work loose. Chap

I've saved the photos. I've also ordered just one of the 1935 Truck Mirrors -- expect it today. A club member and I will look into it. The one I have now on my Pickup -- does not adjust to allow useage, all's I can see is the sidewalks instead of whats behind me-- will try to let my results/findings be forwarded. I know this is not what HenryFord designed for the Pickup, just wanted something I can use
Thanks
