OBS Solutions Swing Lock Mirror Kit – 1980–1997 Ford F-Series & Bronco

Factory Swing Lock mirrors are one of the most recognizable features of an OBS Ford—but after decades of use, worn pivots, loose brackets, and broken hardware can leave them rattling, sagging, or difficult to adjust. The OBS Solutions Swing Lock Mirror Kit is engineered to solve those problems while preserving the classic factory towing mirror appearance.

Manufactured from CNC-machined 6061 aluminum and featuring a proprietary 303 stainless steel pivot and locking mechanism, these brackets are significantly stronger than the factory originals while remaining completely serviceable. Whether you're restoring a classic, building a tow rig, or upgrading your daily driver, this system delivers factory styling with modern durability.
