Go on Marty 8)

could buy a complete g wagen for that sort money..... :shock:
I guess the thing to do is to feed the EPC with the chassis number of a G which had those mirros OEM and then find out how much they really cost. We all know that Mercedes is expensive but that is really a rip off!
I would love a set of those for this G, but not at that price!
they would really suit it, hmmmm
your doing another one then
Didn't someone once point out that those were the same mirrors as on some truck or something and available for a fraction of the cost when bought as such rather than as G mirrors...
Local stealers this morning:
£100 approx for main arm.
£40 approx for mirror.
Whole deal, with a bit of discount, £150 all in.

Worth finding out!!

Agreed + ANOTHER nice project in the making, Mick!!
mick, you fancy coming over to salisbury plains and showing us either one of your G's mate :wink:
the second G is what the springs came off i gather?
marty, are you gonna place an order??
if you are, please order me a set as well my friend. i can collect them in january :)
Hi hus,
Happily order you up a set..... as for me? not sure....wait and see if anyone comes up with an alternative, as per Maxs' suggestion.
Either way, good to see you in January....tho- I'm off to florida again at some stage :oops:
Might try and get Mick up to get a look at either of his "Beasts!!"
marty, can you get me a full price mate?
thanks, as for mick, he seems to be G'd up badly :P
marty, can you get me a full price mate?
nOT A PROBLEM hUS. i'M ASSUMING THE MAJORITY OF THE BITS YOU (Caps, bollox), can see in the diagram are usable from the existing mirror - so the "Boom" may be the only bit needed? Better saving there + I'll normally get 10 or 15% discount. I'll let you know.
cheers marty!

And seeing as Marty is in Ireland and the shipping costs ain't exactly free, not to mention time involved; what do you want to bet it will cost you more than going down to your local dealer?
not if i get them collected by my new employee/owner who is Irish !!!!!
and happens to be going out there in january..
Local stealers this morning:
stealers, I love it :lol: :lol:
"stealers" rule of thumb,If the part no starts with 460 it going to be dear, if not it will be cheap!
@huss, the springs or off the orange G, its going on hydraulics!! :x
dropped by the body shop this afternoon, pearl black, Ive since got the cage, bumpers etc powder coated silver, with the s/steel it should look good, kind of like a brabus unimog, of "black edition" merc trucks,its going to be my daily driver, shiny! 8)
its looking the f@%@ng nuts !!
whats under the bonnet mick?
its 300gd auto, might do a swap around with the 617a from oil,to be honest that's what I actually bought it for!! I was thinking of a musso engine either, sprinter engines arnt cheap for good ones, and then there the inlet manifold to buy, kind of want to do something a bit different though, just going to put it back together for now.
and whats the tires and wheels you have in mind?
[might get in contact with you about the springs in the new year.
good luck mick!
sems as though ireland is becoming G-Heavan..
not if i get them collected by my new employee/owner who is Irish !!!!!
and happens to be going out there in january..
Ah well that would do it. Is he going to come and get my cleaning? ;)
Mick - your G looks great. Looking forward to seeing the finished article.
Ive a set of mach5's for it with 35" maxxis creepy crawlers, have to see what it drives like and how much I use it, might end up putting a set of 33" all terrains on it.
yeah, and I thought for years that I was the only G enthusiast in Ireland!!
no probs maxwell, they have a fantastic ironing service to...
i might be over my nans on the weekend, might chime you once i am there.
look forward to seeing the finished results mick.
marty, are you gonna place an order??
if you are, please order me a set as well my friend. I can collect them in January :)
was always crap in grammar marty,sorry!
I think he is referring to "I CAN collect" rather than "SOMEONE will collect" :lol:
was always c*** in grammar marty,sorry!
Not having a pop at you, Hus....just pointing out to others that postage isn't a prob as you're popping over to our fair isle!!
hey, its hard to offend me mate !
its called 'island culture/nature' !!!
i am sure you understand....
Did we get a price on these parts yet?
I'd love a set of these. I have some on both my VW trucks and they are sooooo much better than the lower braced items.
Not only that you can fit heated mirrors, CB mounts and the like to them.
hey G funk, post some pics of the vw mirrors please. would be interesting to compare, and i bet far cheaper too :shock: !
Not sure they are adaptable yet, but I will check them out for compatibility.
The mirror heads are readily available 'truck mirrors' you can buy on Ebay which clamp onto a standard diameter tube. It's the brackets that need to be considered.
Anyone got pictures of the proper ones.

cheers
