Looking for outside mount mirrors

The ones circled in green are my original black 1995 L300 RHD Starwagon . The red arrows are the ones I ordered (see other pic). Notice mounts completely wrong angle.

That's a different set, see the two pictures from KDC themselves (and not sure if the shopee ones are in fact KDC); I am also not sure what "L300 '88~" is supposed to suggest as apposed to "L300 '90~", but notice the curve on the lower arm and the slight bend on the upper arm (like your faulty ones) vs. the straight lines on the other set, like the original mirrors. Angles seem to be pretty different too. Still a bit of a gamble since KDC only sells per 10...

I can definitely help you, let me get home this weekend. I'll reserve these parts as I definitely have them somewhere.

My only concern, I have both colours (chrome and black), but I need to find them as one went into storage. the other didn't.


If you only need the brackets this could work out well, but.... mine are second hand, they are NOT new.

There's different versions of the L300. If I recall, some truck variants used more basic mirror setups. Also TW uses a LHD setup so it's opposite ours. When I last contacted them, they said they didn't have the RHD variant and while they can produce it they would need significant demand. It wasn't a stocked item (in RHD).
 
I have one and they appear to be in good condition. I've soaked the screws in penetrating fluid and will try to remove them this weekend if you are interested. My only concern is what to do with the mirror and arm because... it's kind of useless without the bracket. But if you only need the bracket and not the mirror, wouldn't it be more economical to post a smaller item.

What I need is the mirror (if possible ) although the one I ordered with the wrong mounts may work) and top and bottom bracket. The circular mirror is still intact and can be removed from the old broke bracket. What happened was against my better judgment (still mad at myself) I drove it through the Quick Quack car wash and the rectangular mirror was ripped right off. Leaving everything else attached and slightly bent.
I noticed there is a screw at the bottom of each bracket mount that connects the arm. So I could most likely be able to use them then affix the arm to it.

Thank you. I agree about the gamble part because of the mount angles. I noticed that my original mounts detach from the arms. (Small screw on bottom) so may try removing them and just inserting the new rods. But looks like I’d have to spray them pretty heavily to loosen them up.

Wait, so you want the whole mirror assembly? Brackets, arm, and mirror?

That would cost a fortune to ship given the size. I mean I can try and get a quote and am happy to help, but the freight would be high :(

Circular mirror has already been removed.

yes. that’s exactly what I’m looking for. Where are you shipping from? Do you have an estimate of the cost?
