[VB] floppy mirrors?

[Conrad Klahn]

When I read this, my thought was:

Elephants use their ears to help cool their bodies. It makes sense that if you have an air-cooled bus, that you would want the additional cooling provided by the floppy elephant ear mirrors.

Maybe someone with a welder handy could help by tacking a weld on the mirror pivot point when you get the position you want. Wouldn’t be that obvious if it was from the bottom.
