I did just that on my 1st BJ8 back in the day. I used a combo of MGB roadster
fittings for the bracketry and the XKE day/nite slidding mirror. The MGB dash
top mount fits the OE mirror holes perfectly. The only downside I recall was
the drilling of holes in the windshield frame for the upper slidding post
mount. Worked great and seemed like they should have done it at the factory
from the gitgo.
