GT6 interior mirror arm

[Dave the tram]

Am I alone in sometimes wishing the interior mirror had a shorter arm, so that it was a bit higher instead of just above the dash? When turning or pulling out I sometimes see movement in the mirror and momentarily think it something ahead that I’ve missed. Also it blocks a significant chunk of the view ahead in what is already a small windscreen. Add a sat nav on the screen (until now I’ve been a purist and stuck with the map book) and the blind spots add up.

Probably got too much time on my hands during lockdown, but has anyone fitted a different mirror or shorter arm? Hopefully some of that time has been well spent and on the 450 mile round trip to Suffolk at the weekend I can test the fuel pipe insulation against vapour lock, the new electric washers and the USB charging ports. Hope the purists don’t think I’m spoiling it or getting soft!

Cheers

Dave

I never realised it was that low; are you sure yours is original? Mine has a wide after-market mirror clipped over it as I thought the original too small!

This is the rear of a GT6 version:

Yeh, that’s what I got, quite high up never gets in the way  of the forward view. Replaced it a couple of years ago, due to a 40 year old crack. I think the new one is convex, so no “too small“ problem.
