Major Problem with my 90 !
Hi

My lovely wife is starting to like Tank and we are using it more and more for everyday use , which is great.

Big problems though ! ! ! There is no vanity mirror on the passenger sun visor !

Can I retro fit one or can I buy a new sun visor with a vanity mirror Smile

Thanks

Hopefully you can get me brownie points Smile

Duncan

Hi Duncan

Mudstuff have a mirror kit but it's out of stock just now!!

Or you can try Matt at FCX for leather sun visors with an illuminated passenger side mirror!!

Cheers John

Will look into it.

If I get the mirror then there is no excuse for me not to get a roof rack, spots and a wee bit of tuning Smile

Blimey Duncan, I have heard about quid pro quo but that would be a bargain and a half!

Good luck with it and let us know how you get on. Thumbs Up

That Duncan is a brave man.

Can't you put the lippy on before you start driving. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

I got a complete sun visor from a scrap car, removed the mirror bit, complete with wiring.

Took my LR visor off, traced out the "cut out" I needed, then scalloped it out with a combination of stanley knife, sharp chisel and any other cutting implement I could find in the garage.

Glued the mirror assy into the visor and ran the wires out where the hinge is, then up through the roof trim, and took the power off of the interior light.

Works a treat and SWMBO is happy, which is the main thing.

That was the only "issue" she spotted with the 90. That and the fact that the seat apparently doesn't recline enough. Rolling Eyes
