Truck-Lite 97803 8.5-Inch Round Silver Steel Universal Convex Blind Spot Mirror Assembly (Center Female Thread Mount, Replaces Signal-Stat 7083/7085)

Maximize your over-the-road safety and eliminate wide-flank blind spots with the rugged visibility engineering of the Truck-Lite 97803 8.5-Inch Round Convex Mirror Assembly. Specifically developed as an extra-large universal spot helper mirror for commercial semi-trucks, vocational dumps, vocational delivery box vans, and municipal utility fleets, this premium spot mirror delivers an expansive, ultra-wide panoramic view of flanking vehicle lanes. By keeping your drivers continuously aware of immediate wheel-well and side-clearance hazards, this assembly supports your rig's compliance with strict FMVSS 111 highway safety visibility regulations.

Don't settle for cheap plastic imitation backing housings that scale under high-speed highway wind resistance or crack under environmental duress. The 97803 features a heavy-duty, stamped carbon steel shell treated with a premium silver weather-resistant finish. This structural metal body is chemically formulated to resist rust, rock chips, and salt spray. For maximized durability, the high-clarity curved convex glass lens is mounted within a shock-absorbing vinyl perimeter gasket, providing deep protection against moisture tracking and dampening chassis vibrations to prevent lens clouding or pitting.

Integrating this blind spot component into your existing setup is fast and stress-free. The assembly connects via a heavy-duty, internal 5/16-inch center female threaded adjustable ball stud (0.313 in. connector diameter). This specialized structural mounting system allows the driver to pivot and customize the lens angle smoothly while actively locking out thread damage under high vibration load. It functions beautifully when paired with standard commercial mirror mounting kits, fender-mount brackets, or tripod loop arm assemblies.

This universal side-view mirror acts as an immediate, exact-fit direct field replacement for the historical legacy Signal-Stat 7083 and 7085 series, giving fleets an affordable drop-in solution to restore frontend clarity.
