Bump for mirrors - Camber plates delivered in a week from NZ. You too could have some nice working mirrors in a weeks time :)

I'm a touch confused... I didn't know the glass was different from LHD to RHD folding mirrors, is there no way to recalibrate the initial position of the glass to get it so its workable on an LHD car?
I already have a few sets of these mirrors coming to me so it'd be good to know how much work they're going to be.

So just to clarify...

On an RHD celica the drivers side is a regular flat mirror but the passengers side is convex so when its transferred to the LHD car the passenger side (LHD drivers side) glass needs to be replaced.

LEft (USD Drivers) is convex and right(USD Passengers side) is magnified, that plus you have to shim the screws that hold the mirror motor in place on the left side to get more of an angle for both mirrors or it wont move enough. if you want to see what I mean go sit in the passengers side of your car and try and adjust your mirrors as if it was a RHD car, the mirrors will reach a limit before you can see properly and thats how much or how big of a spacer you will need to put on the right side of the motor. To remove the plastic push the mirror so it faces up (looking up and pop off the plastic slowly from the bottom, theres a clip that holds it down at the bottom , then user a heat gun and a suction cup to remove the glass from the plastic or remove the glass first then remove the plastic.

Here I did a write up for you:

Cheap fix so you can use them on LHD cars, cost less then $20 Canadian (and that was due to shipping)

Everyone should have these mirrors!

Can you get ahold of the mirror contol? Mine went mising also the complete harness for the mirrors?
I have a spare mirror control sitting on my desk next to me. No issues there.
The complete harness is tied in with the main harness. I would be very hard to pull the whole loom specifically for the mirrors, and there are currently no celicas up at the scrapyard.
I would suggest making up your own harness with crimp connectors and using the wiring diagram that has been provided.

Hi do you have any more sets available thanks
I still have set B here. Will work out a quote as soon as I can.

Note to all: I do not frequent the buy/sell area of the forums much. Please PM me for any queries.
Once the 2nd set has been sold, I will not sell any more. Too much effort for not enough coin.
