Speedway Ford Car/Truck Door Hinge Pin Outside Rear View Mirror

Most Liked Positive Review

This was a beautiful Mirror, no doubt, but It does NOT fit a 51 Ford truck and allow you to use it as a Mirror. The upper door hinge has a hump, to get mirror at 90 degrees (to use effectively) had to grind this mirrors hinge attachment to fit around door hinge hump. NOTE: It 'would' fit without doing this but was so far forward I couldn't adj mirror to use, couldnt see the drivers rear of truck, mirror sat at 10 o'clock position instead of 9 o'clock. Easy to break bottom hinge attachment upon driving pin, do this carefully, 2 people made this safer (extra eyes on pin while I drove it home), as pin got closer, it bowed the bottom hinge, a slight rap with a wood stick pushed hinge back in place so pin fit. I had to make this mirror fit,(wanted to drive!) wasnt happy with grinding it, but I was NOT going to grind my hinge for a 30buck mirror either. It is a quality product no doubt, just fitting on this year vehicle won't happen without modification. (and dont worry it's not my truck thats the problem either). I used a sharp die grinder to do as my bench grinder just wont doing it, this of course caused the chrome to flake, but I hit it with some silver paint to hide. My truck is a Rat Rod right now so didnt really matter, but if it was Concours trailer perfect, I'd still use this mirror with modification. It looks sweet with it on there. For what it's worth. Happy Truckin! T
