Re: Elephant Ears on a OBS
I don't think it'll work. Seeing how the whole body is different than an OBS, I would think the mirrors would probably mount different.
BTW, a little off topic, but where'd you get your avatar pic? It looks exactly like the pic I took to use as an avatar a while back (bottom right corner specifically). Just curious.

Re: Elephant Ears on a OBS
The previous body style ones will work IIRC. The bodylines should match up.
I've been wanting to see them on an OBS.

Re: Elephant Ears on a OBS

Yes. I plan to use them myself. The 94-02 is pretty much a perfect match to our body lines too.
