After a near defect for the GN (bald tyre, not engine
), I thought I'd do some research on the aussie standards for side mirrors. I was looking at this since I want to put on fender mirrors, and don't want problems from it.
Here is the relevant ADR :

Some parts that looks good for it is in 14.2.3.1.2 :
...The mirror shall not be obscured by the unwiped portion of the windscreen,...
The only way a mirror would be seen though the windscreen, and not a side window, is if they were mounted on the fender.
The problem comes at the end of the above sentence:
...and shall be adjustable from the driver's seated position...
It would be ok if I had longer arms, or converted, at minimum, the driver's side mirror to electric adjustment. Then again, it doesn't say that the driver's own hand has to adjust the mirror.
