Suitable Clip On Towing Mirrors
Can anybody give advice a suitable clip on towing mirrors for the standard Defender TDCi Puma mirror. Our newly acquired, yet to be picked up Caravan is slightly wider than the Defender. Does the Defender specification width include the standard mirrors?

Or, do I really need them?

Caravan 2.26M wide

I managed to get normal Milenco mirrors to attach by clamping up from under the mirror arm.
I changed it from the pic to have the tightening bolts at the front as they hit the roll cage when you opened the door.
You have to pull the arm out to the 90 degree notch too.
I did tie-wrap the clamps on to make sure they didn't fall off....did about 700 miles without any issues that way.
Cheers

Hello notxal

I did exactly the same as Bundy although with our Eriba at 2.1M wide I have towed without these additional mirrors as even with tight fixing there remains an annoying vibration resulting in semi-blurred rear views.

What your aiming for is...

A viable alternative are replacement 11.5 Inch Extended Length Mirror Arms at around £40 each

We have an "extra wide" 8' caravan and have a set of the widest Millenco mirror & arms which as above we clamp frm underneath to fit

I also installed the 90deg swivel head fixings to the std mirrors so I can have a smaller extension when towing narrower stuff
