Another holy grail still wanted....... Anybody?

Still looking........somebody must have one

Must be old style, 3 mounting points. Any condition considered so long as not shot through with rust. Bob

Yes and no, these are RatDyot's rather than Wingard but the two are contemporary, dimensions of mirror heads should be 7" x 5". Is that MOD packaging? would appreciate pic of the box labeling especially date of manufacture if you don't mind. If they are going spare, I'll have them off you. Regards Bob -

Hi All, For the record my vehicle is Lightweight 19HF27, FFR, build date Dec '79. The correct mirrors for the vehicle as built are MRC8276, see Land rover fiche parts catalogue RTC9968FA, Series III, 88"-1/2 ton Military Vehicle (Air Portable - Lightweight) 12 and 24v, fiche 2 D7. This is the correct item: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gen-NOS-Land-Rover-Series-2-2a-3-Large-Convex-Door-Wing-Mirror-Head-MRC8276/401776109190 - at one hell of a ridiculous price!!! All I'm after is a couple of good seconds. Yes the tractor mirrors are very very similar but not quite right. Thanks for all the input. Bob -

You are right, MRC8276 convex, not MRC8270 which are flat (my typo error). My vehicle is a December '79 build Lightweight FFR. Currently it is fitted with the later, August '82 on until production end, Defender type MTC5083 door mirrors mounted via brackets MRC2863 to the top door hinges. My intention is to replace these with the correct for build MRC4583 mirror arms and MRC8276 heads. I have a good pair of original Land rover (Wingard) MRC4583 arms but I need a pair of the original Land rover (Wingard) MRC8276 steel mirror heads to go with them. The mounting bracket is the same for either. So, anyone with a decent pair of the aforesaid MRC8276, I would be very appreciative. Not bothered if the glass is broken. Regards and thanks for the input. Bob -
Anyone have a pair of genuine LR (Wingard) 7"x 5" mirror heads in good used condition/NOS they might want to part with for a fair price? Not interested in the Ashtree or BM plastic stuff around these days. Regards Bob

Thanks but I already have a repro and want the original article. Regards Bob

Hi, Thanks, yes I have but with one exception at horrendous price, https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=15&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi-4JSnm5rmAhVRtHEKHV9JBqIQFjAOegQIBBAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FGENUINE-LAND-ROVER-WEIGHT-BRIDGE-PLATE-MILITARY-LIGHTWEIGHT-REFURBISHED-%2F153105982704&usg=AOvVaw08RGjXloruwh0Pz7774K_W, they are wrong for series vehicles and mostly copies.
