I've thought about mounting my mirrors like that but have been worried about the angle of view to the passenger one. |

Not sure on legalities for SA, as the coilies run side impact doofers in the doors, but I'm sure tube doors on coilies aren't legal in QLD. Just a thought... Of course if they're only for off road then totally dis-regard what I've said. I'd love some tube doors for mine for summer

cops would probably sticker the leafy's, even though there is no law saying we cant, you would have to politely argue the point a bit i think |

| Post subject: | Re: tube doors (new pics) |
ok but hurry up dammit, i want to do mine but am completely stuck for ideas on the latch. I have a set of standard suzy doors out the back i could pilfer the latches from, but rigging them up is another story. Oh well good luck for the rest of the build, they are looking good so far |
