Do you know of any good towing mirrors extensions for my defender.

Cheers

I guess you have already tried 'opening out' your standard mirror arm to the second setting? In this link a guy has a defender and says that 'lick and stick' are the only ones that will fit his defender. I only tow a trailer so no expert.

have the larger mirrors from paddocks on my old girl and they give me a good view,....not too expensive either and make a hell of a difference compared with std tackle

Think he might want em for his pikeywagon. I got stopped towing mine & the plods excuse was that I didn't have extended mirrors fitted.

I let him waffle on about them been a legal requirement. Then I walked him to the front of the landy and asked him if he could see his patrol parked behind the caravan. Of course he could. Then I suggested he go and stand at the rear corner of the caravan and see if any part of the mirror was still visible. At this point He tried to get all high and mighty and regain control of the conversation, Once I'd stopped laughig at him I told him he was an idiot and got back in the 90 and drove orf.

I've got the extended Wolf arms and the larger mirrors for towing but has anyone found a way to stop them blowing over when cruising into a headwind? Round about 70mph they get pushed backward on the ball and socket joint at the bottom.

YU could always tighten up the clamp on the bottom of the ball joint.
