Screws for the Fj60 Euro-Spec Mirrors (1 Viewer)

[KG635]

Hey Everyone,

I just purchased the euro spec mirrors and was wondering if I use the original screws or not. They seem like they fit, but maybe not exactly flush.

Thank you!

So, a quick question, when they say Euro Spec, is that accurate or just marketing? I'm asking because some of you might recall my first post here was about importing my FJ60 here to Munich and I'm wondering if I should go ahead and order these and have them installed in the US as part of my restore process.

From what little I know about it, they were original equipment in some European countries. I don’t know if that was Toyota catering to what they thought Europeans would prefer, or if it had to do with some safety laws in the European countries.

I have them and they’re great. Much better visibility and less wobbles than the US-spec mirrors. I reused the screws and they worked fine.

Thanks much for the reply. I've searched around other places to see if there is actually some European standard that they comply with but haven't been able to find anything. I think I'll get them anyway regardless since they looking pretty killer and I much prefer them to the large FJ62 mirrors that some folks use as replacements for the originals.

Also, I noticed you have 2 screw holes below your installed mirrors. Does that mean the install footprint is different than the originals?

No, that was some aftermarket mistake a previous owner made long ago. There are bolts with rubber washers there to keep water from going in the holes they drilled.

Thanks for the clarification.
