Milenco Grand Aeros - fit OK and suit the size of the mirrors. Not sure of any other makes, but i think quite a few on here use the same ones as me.

Milenco's are very good, but even better with the modified pads on the clamps. |

Milenco for me didn't bother with the v pads as they fit well enough without them. |

Milenco aero with 'V'pads, Milenco themselves recommend the 'V'pads over the standard for the FL2 mirror trim surround. |

My brother has just come back from Spain, 2,200 miles of towing with milenco towing mirrors and standard pads fitted with no problems what so ever,if they stay on over that sort of distance I can't see why the v pads are needed. |

Having had both flat and V Pads, I prefer the V Pads, no need to tighten them down so much, they grip better with less force, also found in the wet, the more you tightened them down, the more the pad slipped to the edge, this doesn't seem to happen with the V Pads. I've also towed many thousands of miles and thought the flats were ok, until I tried the V's. |

When you tried the V's how did they feel? |

how is it legal to drive with those contraptions g clamped to your car? they need some sort of safety strap to unsure damage only occurs to the owners vehicle when they fall off not the unfortunates in the cars behind.

They don't fall off, they can get knocked off by Frenchmen wandering into the road without looking then complaining his arm hurts, I just produced a Gallic shrug.picked it up and put it back on. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
