    33 Hotrod Mirrors, need something better

    Has anyone found better mirrors, maybe convex, that would screw into the FFR mounts?
    Can’t see much from the drivers side mirror, the seatbelt really prevents you from moving around so you can see what’s to your left.

    I used the hagan fatties both port and starboard. Convex one on right side and regular flat one on the drivers side. They were extremely pricy but well worth it. they fit the standard FFR swan neck mounts but you have to order the adapters to make them work.. The adapters also give you a little more angularity on the right side so you can set it perfectly. Good luck..

    Thanks, are these them? I didn’t see an option for convex.
    The oval one look nice.

    I am running the same on my car. Hagan "fatties" on the FFR stalks. Very nice pieces but you have to pay accordingly. BTW, the "fatties" are the convex or superview I think they call them - the "flatties" are the standard flat glass regular view.

    That's the place. I believe you need the 6mm adapters. I found the round ones fit the cars style better to my liking. You may need to call them to get exact mirrors for convex.

    Thanks for all the info guys. I ordered 2 of the superview convex mirrors, M-OVH.
    The threads on the FF arms are 1/4 x 28 so I need their M-ADT-1/4-28 adapters.
    Yup, they ain’t cheap, but much better than the stick on convex mirrors on Amazon I was looking at.

    Got the Hagan fattie convex mounted today. Very nice quality mirrors.
    Much wider view, haven’t driven it yet, garage pics show they should be what I was looking for.
    Old mirror view.

    I’ve been out driving for the last few days, these mirrors are great.
