Well, I fitted bullet style ones to the doors as I think they look good on the car. As for seeing anything behind me, not so great. I think we're all used to door mirrors the size of tea trays these days and older style ones just don't compare.
Yes, I do remember you doing this and you sent me one to try.....its still sitting on the window sill in my workshop! I must try it out and report back.....sorry Erik!
All good info. I had not idea TR6 bullet mirrors are larger than the generic bullet mirror. I'll have to do some digging to understand the difference. I would like to get as close as I can to a period correct mirror. I have one on the shelf but the white plastic around the glass looks overly large and unsightly. I think it was an inexpensive knockoff...

No problem Nigel, tbh i couldn't even remember this.
Did i send you a mirrorglass for the "small" bullet mirror?
interestingly I didn't realise that TR6 had a designated bullet type mirror, I thought by then they were using the Tex mirror which far more trendy back in the day. I remember getting my hands on a matt black one and spraying it OEW to match my first car (first car on the road you understand!) and thought I was the mutts nutts
Anyhoo, went and had a look at mine, is it me or does mine site between your two designs Erik? but your mirror you so kindly sent me does look to fit?
Also I fitted one to the passengers door as well (OCD symmetry set in ) but you can see FA out of it, the passenger doesn't seem to make comment (which is a first) you just cant get enough angle on it but hay.
Oah yea, and somewhere in the loft I have another bullet mirror that has the ring around the mirror (and on the cone end as well I think) that you can light up at might as a parking lamp. In the UK, if parked in the street you have to have a visable light on your car which I'm sure was a law passed to keep Exide batteries in business!
