Hi, Im looking to purchase the attached bullet style overtaking mirrors with fixing bracket fitted to the sliding window catch. Could anyone please advise where to buy these from? Any details would be greatly appreciated. Manufactures name etc. We have seen these fitted in the mini magazine March issue 2018.

Thanks for your help in advance

Type in mini downton mirrors, theres a couple of places that sell them.

I bought mine (the thread above) from a company in Australia. As mentioned above they are often called Raydyot, Raydot, Cobra or Downton mirrors, you can also find them on eBay.

The hole in the window catch was slightly too small so I opened it up slightly with a drill bit. I also bought some dome headed nuts to make them look a bit nicer on the inside.

interesting thread. and title.  Overtaking mirrors? how? rear view mirrors.

 

why have them on a moving bit of glass. looks over function.

 

good to see you fond a link and names for them though.

One benefit of installing the mirrors this way is you don't have to drill into your doors. They also have a zoom mode   . I actually find them to be better than the older ones I had on the car

 

I also spotted them at Holden
