Mr. Toyota sells them. You can get the mirrors and only the right side arm is available.
City Racer may also sell the mirrors?

Hi Bob!

Is the right arm different from the left?
I thought they were “mirror images” of each other.

Hello Ian,
Haha! They are different. The bend is different R to L. Believe me I have tried the R on the L. Been looking for a good L arm for 8 years.
The elbows are shaped the same. It’s the ball end that is turned differently for R & L.

Since BTB cuts and rotates the right arm of the 68-76 side mirror to work on the left, I wonder if they don’t do the later ones as well?

Can’t you heat a passenger arm and twist it?

That is a pretty big bend or twist which ever way you decide to go. Would think cut and weld might be the way to go.

Never realized the left side was hard to find. Not sure if I have equal sets of the few I have. Never paid attention to the 68-76 as far as modifying to the opposite side. Those I know my sets are equal.

So why is the left side harder find? Both sides were installed from 9/67 on
