Umm, I looked and there are two pictures that show the mirrors (full van pics) and the mirrors in both are the factory ones.  ;D





I used Eddys pic as it was a close up and shows the general idea of how the Patrol ones would fit.

* Just remebered - I think Eddys are of a Navara, he had to grind a edge off the L shaped base to get it to sit flat, the navara sit on the 90 degree edge of the gaurd.

The other day i was sitting at a shopping centre carpark and beside me was a new Holden "Captiva" 4wd. and the mirrors looked like a viable option to stick on a beddie. Ill see if i can find a pic. ;)

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

It shouldn't be a problem to screw into the door - after all beddies are made of real steel :D

If you can re use the top two, if not all three could be drilled into the sheet metal, just make sure you use the appropriate sized drill for the screws you use.

Just reach your hand up inside the door and put a large washer and nyloc nut on the other side of the mounting bolt. It's not like you can't get to the other side of the door panel easily. probably easier with 2 people though as you'll have to have the window up unless you have really long arms.

Or see them on their webpage: http://www.britaxae.com.au/mirrors.php

The 4003-161 looks like it might just bolt on. Down the bottom of: http://www.britaxae.com.au/products.php?categoryname=1+Pce+Door+Mount%2C+4WD&subcategoryid=2&page=1
