<VV> RE:Mirrors?

[James Davis]

The left side mirror of an Ultra Van is 2 x 7 inches and the right is 
5 x 12 inches.  Could be that Dave Peterson was more interested in 
actually using the mirrors rather than the mirrors being symmetrical 
and looking good.  The one on the left is viewed through the side 
window and the one on the right through the right corner of windshield.

  I once tried using a stock pair of mirrors mounted on the fenders 
on the Corsa where they looked great.  I quickly learned that the 
further the mirrors are from the eyeballs, the larger they need to 
be.   It is hard to beat GM location if you want to stay with the stock size.
