This part suits vehicle owners, fleet managers, and repair shops replacing damaged or worn right- or left-hand mirror heads on Ford-style trucks and vans who prefer a direct-fit, mirror-only swap. It’s ideal when you have an existing mounting bracket or arm and need an OEM-dimension chrome head with a flat 5\" x 8\" glass surface. If you require the arm, bracket, or a convex wide-angle glass, check compatibility or choose an alternate CIPA assembly that includes those components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does this mirror head include the mounting bracket?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, the bracket or arm is not included; the head mounts onto existing compatible brackets using the included bolt and lock washer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I install this without drilling new holes?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, it is designed to fit original equipment mounting holes so no drilling is required on compatible Ford-style assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"CIPA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55167631819095,"sku":"B00029WVL0","price":41.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/cipa-95500-chrome-front-view.jpg?v=1790389967","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/cipa-oe-chrome-side-mirror-replacement-head-5-x-8-in-flat-glass-direct-fit-ford-style-with-ball-and-socket-aim","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
