The round side-view mirror
with a flat surface and chrome finish was originally fitted by Porsche on the driver’s side in the following
vehicles:
Porsche 356 B (1959-1963)
Porsche 356 C / SC (1964-1965)
Porsche 911 2.0 L (1965-1967)
Porsche 911 S 2.0 L (1967)
Porsche 912 1.6 L (1966-1967)
From the 1968 year-model onwards, this round side-view mirror with a flat surface and chromed shell was
replaced by Porsche by the round side-view mirror with a convex face reference911.080169.
From 1972 onwards, round side-view
mirrors were replaced by rectangular-shaped models, both manual and electric
(the latter from 1976 onwards).
Nevertheless, the use of the
round side-view mirror with a flat surface and chrome finish was still possible
as an optionto be mounted on the (left) passenger side on the following
vehicles whose steering wheel is on the
right side (mostly for the U.K. market):
Porsche 911 2.7 L passenger side with steering
wheel to the right (1974-1975)
Porsche
911 S 2.7 L passenger side with steering wheel to the right (1974-1975)
Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 L Type 930 passenger side
with steering wheel to the right (1975)
Our round side-view mirror in
stainless steel with a flat mirror face is a reproduction of the original steel
Porsche part with a chromed finish.
Note: installation of our round side-view mirror reference 911.080168 is done on the driver’s side
of the vehicle (to the left); however, to improve on the appearance of your
vehicle, mounting of this side-view mirror is also possible on the passenger’s
side. To do so, it is necessary to offset the placement of the mirror on the
right side somewhat, in order to obtain the best possible field of view. Trial
fit the side view mirror on the passenger’s side first before doing any
drilling on the vehicle’s body. You must
also check that the installation of this side-view mirror on the right side of
the vehicle will not interfere with the seal at the top of the passenger door
(if applicable) but will still provide a good angle of vision.
Our stainless steel round side-view
mirror with a flat mirror face is supplied with its rubber mounting gasket.
Quantity required per
vehicle: 1 on driver’s side + 1 (as an option) on the passenger’s side.
