as a last resort get the euro mirrors it takes a few min to modify them to get them to mount....and they are cheap i broke both of mine when i was putting the doors on one night. and they are so small compared to the originals. i went with the rugged ridge relocation brackets and love them....

Never mind. Its raining right now and I didnt want to get wet.
Then I thought damn I'm a jeep guy, so I ran out and checked.

I'm ordering some YJ mirrors. Anyone seen round ones?
I wonder if you could make it work w/ light brackets.

not trying to hijack and probably this should be in the modified section. but because of request.....


yes they are for a YJ and yes they are the stock bolts.
they are to be mounted like this on a YJ, but they stick out just a little and you need to add shims (washers) for alignment of the mounting holes.

mounting in this position keeps them tucked in but you loose some visibility.and I only have the driver side mounted, still working on the passenger side. in this position keep the mirror bolt lose and
tighten the angle pieces then the mirror arm bold. the the mounting holes on the windshield bracket are little narrow, you will see....
