Well really hope it is the pair. Will be slighlty annoyed if it is not. Will have to wait and see what arrives I suppose.

I got something like these for about £8 from the local caravan place. Fit well no issues yet.

I use Milenco mirrors. Very secure, no problems at all.

Whatever type you fit, they always stick out further than some people expect , so mine were usually painted bright orange or red, or had some frilly/dangly attachment to make them extra visible . The normal black plastic tends to be 'invisible' to some drivers .

I had some of those from my last non Rover car, and fitted ok until they broke.

I had those too and found they were absolutely useless on the oval mirror, couldn't get them to stay secure, and they constantly needed adjustment while travelling.

The Unipart mirror I tried was likethe top link and is useless on the 75's mirrors.

The raydots arrived this mornign and look to be in very good condition. Due to use emptying dad workshop today have not had time to try them on the CDT as yet ................. mayhap will get the chance tomorrow.

They fit fine on my mk2 mirrors, done hundreds of miles with no issues at all.

Just in case anybody still wants a set of the genuine ones and hasn't spotted these being sold on this site

I am selling these if anyone is interested, I can vouch for the comments here that the mirrors are excellent and are very stable.
