I also installed a bullet mirror on the passenger side of our 67B by the
wing vent (and afterwards found out I couldn't open the wing vent; WHAT AN
IDIOT:-). Couldn't adjust it to see and didn't want to move it due to the
holes. I got a small convex "blind spot" mirror with an adhesive back and
stuck it to a corner of the bullet mirror. I can now at least see something
through it.
