MG MGA - Rear view mirror

I need to replace my rear view mirror. I quite fancy a convex one to widen the view but the only ones I can find on the net are much too wide and I think will probably block my forward view.
Would be grateful if anyone has any experiences? - I must own up it is for my frogeye, but the mirrors seem to be interchangable. I will post there too, but this forum is always so helpful. Thanks

Graham,
I've been running this convex rear view mirror for several years. It's about 6" wide and I've never felt it interfered with forward view. Between this and the convex wing mirror I have quite a panoramic rear view. Friends who have sat behind the wheel have been favorably impressed. The mirror came with some parts I purchased and I have no idea of its origin. There are no identifying marks. The mounting base doesn't quite match the MG hole spacing, but the stem is easily replaced. I have a spare and have been planning to do that. Maybe I will...one of these days.
Cheers,
Gerry

Yes thats the sort of thing I am looking for, but can only find them very much wider. Never mind, I will keep looking. Thanks
