Description

Overview

Britax 18in West Coast Flat Glass Mirror Head is a West Coast style mirror head for heavy vehicle set-ups.
It uses a flat mirror for clear distance judgement.
It also suits most universal West Coast mirror brackets on trucks and large equipment.
Because the head is rigid, it stays stable on rough roads.
This style is a common choice for fleet repairs and roadside replacements.

Features

• Corrosion resistant stainless steel housing for long service life.
• Extrusion retention design that holds the mirror glass securely.
• Universal style head that fits most West Coast mirror assemblies.
• Low profile body that helps reduce vibration and rubbing.

Specifications and Materials

• Mirror type: flat glass.
• Overall size: 18in head class.
• Housing: stainless steel.
• Dimensions: 463mm x 163mm x 40mm (H x W x D).

The stainless housing helps resist corrosion, so it suits exposed work environments.
The glass sits in a formed extrusion, which helps prevent movement over time.
If you are pairing it with a brace, the head remains steady at speed.
Part number: CA5117.
For general compliance background, see the Australian rear vision mirror compliance reference which outlines mirror requirements for road vehicles.

Compatibility and Fitment

Britax 18in West Coast Flat Glass Mirror Head suits most West Coast style mirror arms and brackets.
However, bracket designs vary, so confirm your head mounting and glass orientation before install.
If you are replacing only the head, keep your existing arm and brace hardware.
Otherwise, match the head to a compatible West Coast bracket and brace set.
When the head sits square, you get a cleaner view and less vibration.

Compliance and Safety

Mirrors are a safety critical item, so replace damaged or loose heads promptly.
Also check that the mirror field of view remains suitable after installation.
Tighten fasteners correctly and recheck them after initial road use.
If your vehicle has specific compliance needs, follow the applicable Australian rules.
Keep the glass clean, because grime reduces night visibility and depth cues.

Trailer Applications

This mirror head suits prime movers and rigid trucks that work with trailers.
It is also used on tippers, flatbeds, and caravans that need a sturdy mirror head.
For example, it suits vehicles that see regular highway and yard work.
If the mirror head vibrates, add bracing or adjust the arm angle.
It can also suit plant and moving equipment where a West Coast head is preferred.
