Hi ezzzy,

Based on my conversion/adaptation I don't think you'll want to fit the old mirrors to your lovely new TX4!

I finally managed to buy 2 new TX4 mirrors from M&O Birmingham about 3 weeks ago (I'd been after them since they came out). You refer to them as 'Chinese crap' but they are better made than the old Ford Galaxy rubbish!

If you went back to the old ones you'll notice how much smaller they are: I certainly noticed the increase in size!

Anyway... When I fitted the 4's on my II, I had to drill an extra hole in the door and had to file/drill/alter the existing holes to accommodate the 3 bolts on the new/different foot plate, than the 2 bolts on the old one! Buy the proper mirrors.

Hope this helps, darth.
