Desperate times...calls for desperate measures !
These mirrors are somewhat hard to find, they fit (1958 -1967). Was wondering if there’s any interest in going another route ?
The (base)..to the left, is a prototype that l made off the first pictures above. (not painted yet)
I am not sure if the holes for the screws are the same distance apart in the earlier models ? (1958 -1966)
[The ‘67’s are 2 3/8 inches from center to center]
l ended up using an outer side mirror for my prototype. I’ve never seen an original rear view mirror, l am guessing that they are a bit smaller, height wise.
At any rate...is there any interest out there in these bases ? The side mirror alone runs anywhere from $35 -$40...a guy can get them OK, but the base, is not so easily found. Not everyone will like a bigger mirror...l realize this, but some might be OK with it.
If there’s interest, l will delve deeper to see if l can get prices on having some more made, if not ...kaysarah ! I will monitor the thread and update it about prices if there’s enough interest.
If you’re interested in the base let me know the year of your rig
and the measurement from the center to center of the screw holes if yours isn’t a 1967. I’m open for more feedback & discussion/advice...
