I bought a pair back around 2002 . I would like to get another pair might someone out there know him or this product ? Joe
Norman, I cannot tell you where I got my mirror, but it appears to be the same one that Moss sells with a convex head and a ball and socket attachment with a pinch clamp that slides over the right or left hand arm or now an arm that will work in both positions. This arrangement allows for vertical or horizontal mounting no matter what arm you use. It is specifically for the TC, I believe and works well. I can see along the right side and also to the rear and it is the only mirror I need. I have no center or left hand mirror.I suspect that Doug may carry this also or any of your MG specific UK suppliers.Steve TC2911 [b]From:[/b] "'Norman Verona' norman@frenchblat.com [mg-tabc]" mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com> [b]To:[/b] usaj24@earthlink.net; joecurto@aol.com; 'TABC-Group' mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com> [b]Sent:[/b] Friday, August 25, 2017 1:51 PM [b]Subject:[/b] [mg-tabc] Mirrors Sorry to start a new subject this way but the Yahoo site seems to have gone on strike. I fitted a pair of mirrors to the windscreen stantion when I renovated the car. I drilled and tapped the stantion to get the second hole on the arm to fit. The first is in one of the stantion fixing screws. However, I want the mirrors in the horizontal position, not vertical (I d rather see what s behind than the sky and road). I had to bend the arms to get them in this position. So, at last, the question . Does anyone know which supplier has mirrors and arms that will allow horizontal positioning.

Torque is a function of maximizing BMEP which also depends on complete A/F ratio mix burning at stoichio. in order to maximize explosive event potential (torque) at power stroke.
