factory swing away mirrors

[mikekaz1]

 

curious if any one knows any info on these mirrors, original manufacturer? part number? any trim correlation? 

[shelbyluvv]

I don't think those are factory. Pull the door panel and see if the braces are in the door. Those look like Ranger mirrors with a bolt on extender slide.

Yepp f series ranger Ford mirrors.

You can buy the mirrors and the cruush nuts through napa

Stock MJ mirrors like that have a factory strongback in the doors. (structural support)

[mikekaz1]

the mirror heads are replacement, with the extend a mirror attachment, I know I put those on. the bracket is mj original, the bracket info is really what I'm looking for, as they seem to be MJ specific as of size and contruction. wondering if anyone knew any info on them,

[87MJTIM]

Those mirror are definitely after market. They are mounted too far forward on the door.  The driver has to look through the vent glass to see the mirror.

 

Here's mine.  Factory installed

the brackets are original, they were moved from my long bed to my short bed and relocated inline with the standard corner mirrors as I felt you could see out of them better, especially on the drivers side  and to accommodate my 1997 door swap  with full window (passenger side not finished)     I will say, I'm curious now tho because your mounting flanges are different from mine... yours are flat to the body, where mine mount on half circle plastic isolators with adjustment groves

I did find this ebay post http://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-Ford-Courier-Truck-Exterior-Mirror-Bracket-Rat-Rod-Hot-Rod-Part-/131666781334?hash=item1ea7f3a496:m:mgJeSugWcQo6vHsjNmZHsPQ&vxp=mtr

 

which look identical to yours

[mikekaz1]

this ones different from both mine and yours

[87MJTIM]

AMC = Any Makers Components.

 

Mine is '87.  Jeep/AMC/Chry could have changed suppliers over the years.

could you do me a favor and post measurements for some of the key features?   like screw spacing, bracket width, space between brackets, and door to bracket edge? I want to compare types if possible

I will as soon as my truck is back from the body shop  :fs1:  :mad:  It has been there for 3 months (for the third time) to fix rust they did not correct the first time.

thanks!  bed side? other then that yours looks awesome!

[87MJTIM]

Thanks,  Those are both pre resto pictures.  They were the only ones I could find (quickly) that showed the mirrors.

 

What about the "bed side"?

I just meant was it bedside rust why it was getting body work

[HOrnbrod]

These are the only "low profile" type mirrors issued to the MJs throughout the 86-92 years. There are no others in the factory parts manuals. It is possible however that some dealerships had differently styled options available.

 

[mikekaz1]

ah, that's some of the paperwork I wanted to see!  that's definitely identical to 87mjtim's too.    my brackets seem to be spot on, just the mounting flange slightly different.  ill be interested to see what those measurements are compared to mine, I will post mine later tonight

[mikekaz1]

so my lower bolt holes are 2" apart, top are 4" apart, bracket mounting is roughly 7" between both flanges and door to outer edge is roughly 9"

PM sent to Mike.

 

I should get the truck back next week.  Fingers crossed.  I will get the measurements when it is back in my possession.

I agree that yours are not factory mirrors or brackets. Does your truck have the vertical reinforcing member inside the doors? (Part #5 in Hornbrod's diagram.)

Factory  mirrors with internal brace.

this truck does not, but the truck they came off of did. 

[mikekaz1]

in any event, even if my brackets are not direct factory, but rather a factory aftermarket or something,  they are far smaller (dimensionally) then any of the fords or any other ones I've seen,  there about 2 or 3 inches shorter then replacement  ford ones, so still not sure how to trace these down to a manufacturer.

Small body Ranger pick up has the same size mirrors. Look at my Black Betty build and you can see they are real close. CIPA also sells that style mirror along with JC Whitney and numerous others. Hell, Walmart has them.
