Well some kind soul decided it was easier to steel the frames and attached mirrors off my 1995 fiat hymer b534.
They also stole wheel trims and chrome hymer badge.
I can get new wheel trims but the other parts are not easy.
I am hoping that somebody may be able to help me with regards to the size and shape of the mirror frames I have a tough idea of shape. I would also need size and shape of the brackets that attach to the van.
If anybody had a picture of frames and brackets with measurements that would be fantastic

A kind friend said he will make me some
I have not used the motorhome for a while due to being unwell but was intending to get away for a break in the summer however until my friend makes me up some new frames I will be static

Thank you in anticipation

John.

Thank you Jim and Vic

It 's so kind of you both.

I think mine would be the same as the ones on Harriet
Being an older model
That would be brilliant if you could get me some meassurments
I would love to know the distance from the body of the van to the outside of the frame.
It looks about 300mm to me

Thanks again
John

A big thank you Jim

They look nice and chunky but mine were the older ones I think 16mm tube
Similar to what would be on an old tractor.

Thanks again
John

I have bought more than one set :rolleyes: of these for my B584 that has the same arms as your van:



The seller usually has several other similar mirrors on offer.

(Edit - same seller as linked by scotjimland)

Hi John, we are off to the old gal tomorrow lunchtime so will measure up while the boss is making a cuppa and send details, length, dia, etc as soon as poss.

Coincidence really but the last job I did last week was a copy of Jim, stripped off the mirrors & the arms, restored the arms to a decent finish and rebuilt it all.

May just treat her to a new set of mirrors now I know where to buy them.

Living the dream.
What a shame, total lowlife and presumably a motor home owner. Can I ask where it was parked, if a secure storage then presumably only owners should have access?
Good luck with replacements. (y)

Hi Paul the van is parked off road on a drive in the village
Next to her car. I'm afraid I may need to put it in storage.
I had it parked at hers so I could easily shoot off when the mood took me.
What saddens me most is to think that more than likely it's a fellow owner.
Sad world
Maybe they just wanted the mirrors but decided to take the whole frames
It baffles me.
Thanks to you and all for your support and help

Many thanks that would be great
It's funny I see loads of homers but when you need one you can't find one for love nor money

That sounds familiar.

Thanks again
John

Its sad to read that one motorhomer would steal from another. Or maybe a middleman doing one up to flog.

Anyway I hope the thieving toerag gets their cuppupences due.

And great to read the funsters coming to your aid.
