Inexpensive mirror replacements?
Both my mirrors self destructed over the winter. The plastic backing just cracked and fell off.
Anyone locate a decent replacement for less than the going $50.00 each?

Todd, I like these alot compared to original. Mine came with the hardware to attach to the stock stalk. They are a little larger than stock, which I like, are green, and have a rubber molding on the edge. This same source sometimes has them for ebay bid as well as purchase now; I got mine for 9.99.

We've got pallet containers of those mirrors. I'd be thrilled to sell them at $9.99 each. I would be curios to see the "clamp mechanism" that was provided with your mirror's as that has always been the drawback to fitting these to a mog/pinz.

Scott,
Are these mirrors listed on your site? I would happily buy several. One of my mirrors is about to fall out of the frame.
I like your hex-head drain plugs. I was thinking if one were to drill and tap the center of the plug for a barbed fitting, the various assemblies could be lightly pressurized to help keep the gunk out. Has anybody tried that?
Thanks,

Hmmm, Guess if they don't mount up easily, they won't do me any good.ExpeditionImports wrote:We've got pallet containers of those mirrors. I'd be thrilled to sell them at $9.99 each.

ditto Scott- I searched your site for "mirror" and just some Unimog parts came up.
SAV has stock ones for $36.50
Pinzgauer tech shop in Switzerland has them in black for about $25, olive for $39, or even a 24v heated version for about $55!- but that seemed like too far to go unless we put together a big order. http://www.8ung.at/m-productions/techshop/diverses.html

Bought a pair of black replacement mirrors very similar to the originals, online from http://www.jasa-ag.ch/shop/index.jsp in Switzerland.
The reference is G2 010 20 (enter it into the "Suche" search box on the top left corner to go straight to it). It comes in two different kinds, normal and "stark gewolbt" (more convex than the normal kind), giving a broader angle of vision, which I find quite practical for the passenger side mirror.
Prices are CHF 29.50 for the normal one and CHF 32.90 for the other one. With one US Dollar currently being worth 1.18 Swissie, you are in the same price range (and same overseas online order problematic ) as with the Pinz Tech Shop mentionned by McCall Pinz...
For info, this shop also carries the stock Swiss army rear lights.

they arent an exact replacement, but "Pep Boys" (at one time) sold some $5 mirrors that are very close to the originals (probably $10 now IF they still sell them). i bought a few several years back after getting tired of busting the $$ originals. they are black, not green. they also require a bit of rubber (i used a sacrificial bike innertube) to be mounted properly. other than the mounting, they are basically identical and are a perfect cheap solution.
