As the subject says, are the TF/TG (81-84) mirrors the same as those on a WB Kingswood ute? To me they look the same, (from pictures), but dont know if the gemini ones are smaller in size/have different mounting arms, etc. Looking to paint and fit to a WB Van with just the standard mirrors. Also, the gemini ones have internal controls, do the Kingswood ones have these too or are they just adjusted from the outside?
cheers

Hi Rhys.
The mirrors are very similar, the glass itself & all the internals are the same. You can use the remote bits out of the Gemini mirror in the WB one.
The only difference AFAIK, is the angle of the mounting base, to take account of the differ |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Dr Terry is 100% correct. The WB ones were manual only. SHOP ONLINE and look for new Kingswood ones. |

As Dr Terry says, it's the base arm angle that's different. The other thing to note with the Gemini mirrors is that the passenger side ones are pretty hard to come accross, as they were an option rather than std. At least they were pretty cheap though.
