Non-Patrol extendable towing mirrors

[jff45]

I'm at our son's place in McLean VA. it's a few kms outside Washington DC, next to Langley where the Bush Intelligence Centre is i.e. the CIA..
I've bought a trans overhaul kit as well as other bits and pieces. I'm lucky my son works for the World Bank so I can post it all back for free No room in the suitcases and I need to buy more stuff in LA on the way back home..

Nice area your from mate , not sure what the post is about but for a GU you can buy clearview mirrors which comply to all regs or buy yourself a cheap set of Silverado 2007 mirrors from the states and adapt them to fit the GU which plenty here have done .
There is also a maximum distance they can stick out when not towing .

I've read all this thread and was still a little confused about legality, so I read the clear view website and found this. Still not totally convinced so I will make further inquiries before purchasing

Could you just print this and keep in the glove box and produce it if the mirrors ever come into question?
