Truck-Lite 97686 8-Inch Round Convex Tripod Fender Mirror Assembly (Black Stainless Steel Housing, Adjustable 22"-31" Long Nose Truck Bracket Kit)

Eliminate forward and side wheel-well blind spots on conventional long-nose haulers with the commercial safety engineering of the Truck-Lite 97686 8-Inch Round Convex Tripod Fender Mirror Assembly. Specifically designed for heavy-duty long-hood semi-trucks, vocational dumps, and conventional regional transport rigs, this premium fender-mounted crossview assembly provides a wide-angle, panoramic view of the vehicle’s front quarters. It acts as a defense system during tight warehouse maneuvers and lane changes, ensuring full compliance with mandatory FMVSS 111 commercial safety visibility regulations.

Don't settle for universal brackets that wobble at highway speeds or crack delicate bodywork. The 97686 features a rugged, ultra-stable tripod mounting frame engineered with safety-first bell mounts. To safely disperse physical stress and adapt to vocational body panels, the kit includes specialized 3-inch coated washers and 3-inch structural steel washers designed to prevent cracking or stress damage to fiberglass fenders.

The geometry of the high-strength framework is fully adjustable to fit your truck's lines:

• Main Arm Support: Telescopes and expands from a compressed 22 inches up to a maximum 31 inches.

• Top Support Stability Arm: Telescopes and expands from 14 inches up to 21 inches to lock in optimal viewing angles.

• Bottom Support Arm: Fixed, high-rigidity 12-inch non-adjustable base bar that anchors the triangle framework.

The optical core features a premium, deep-drawn black-finished stainless steel housing shell built to resist road salts, gravel strikes, and brutal winter weather. Inside, the high-clarity 8.5-inch round convex glass lens delivers an ultra-wide field of view to eliminate the most dangerous blind spots along the passenger flank. Using an adjustable 5/16-inch (0.313 in. connector diameter) ball stud and flange connection, operators can precisely pivot and angle the reflection, while the heavy-duty tripod configuration dampens brutal engine and road vibrations.
