mk1 wing mirror holes

[Luke]

On my mk1 the holes for the wing mirrors are in a different place each side
one is 9" back and one is 5" back!!
are they all like this (never noticed before) or is one a later wing if so which is which

[FredTransit]

That must correspond with they way Mk2s mirrors are arranged, but I don't know why..............

[Neil]

mk 1 mirrors should be equal

[Luke]

mk 1 mirrors should be equal

5" or 9" then neil?

[Neil]

mine are 5 just checked

[ovlov]

Just to be different mine are six inches back but it has had new wings fitted dont know if holes put in after

[madmark]

luke i was looking at the the ford show van the left hand drive one and that had the mirrors to far in! i thourt that when new wings came the holes were allready there!

[Gunslinger]

slightly off topic ... but why the hell were the mk2 mirrors mounted 1 on the wing and 1 on the door ?

because i hate it ... oh and have no strengthening plate left on the wing

[Neil]

that could be for the side door clippin back

[FredTransit]

that could be for the side door clippin back

But it's the same on all Mk2s, even our chassis cabs fitted with luton bodies! AND the chassis cabs are different mirror arms (longer) than the vans.

[Luke]

I think its the position of the driver - if both mirrors were in the same place the blind spot would be worse if a van has twin sld's it still has odd mirrors!!
I think we talked about this before MJP's van!!!

Fred, they is longer 'cos the body is wider, innit.
