Quadratec sell Lange mirrors that come with a bracket to attach to the door hinge - that looks like the only place to attach a mirror when running with a snorkel and doorless. Anyone else ? A snorkel is next on my to-do list.

I have the outlaw mirrors with the aev snorkel and they work pretty well and look pretty good too. The only downfall is that the passenger mirror isnt a "objects may be closer than they appear" mirror so your field of view is limited.

Our brackets will work for you. They put the OEM mirrors at the same location as when they're on the doors and you won't have vibration problems.

The only problem is Some of us use tube doors or soft doors and so we have no access to door hinges....relo brackets won't work with the snorkel, so basically we are screwed on the passenger side

That is true. We do have plans for tube doors that use the stock mirrors for those situations.
