Round mirror retaining plate availability? (1 Viewer)

[Big Gez]

My 1/1975 FJ45 has had an aftermarket mirror fitted to the passenger side. I have been able to source a replacement, round type but it it is missing the ball/socket/ retainer plate with the 3 screw holes.

I have had no luck finding this specific part and was wondering if they are obtainable or not? I could try and make something but thought I would try here first.

Let me know your thoughts?

I found some mirrors with patina to match the rest of the body as I thought new mirrors would look a bit out of place.

Use the socket retainer from a new one.

You still need that mirror part?

Curious how close to the ocean you are? The previous owner kept it in a building. My parents had a 1962 Chevy Impala they gave to me. We lived in AZ. Shortly after they moved to Los Angeles. Few years later it was at a point they could use the Chevy more than myself. I drove it back over where it was parked outside. Wasn't long before rust started showing up from fog off the ocean. I'm sure they were at least twenty miles from the ocean. I know some like the patina look which is fine as long as it doesn't slowly rust away. Personally I like the pitina on this cruiser that will be fifty four years old next month.

In a few weeks will be around where most my parts are kept. That cruiser the original owner had issues with left side mirror that wouldn't stay tight. Believe the ball section in the back of mirror is worn. I just replaced the arm and mirror. Pretty sure the old mirror is on this box. If you don't find one sooner I post a picture of that mirror which has patina but not really rusted.

Seems like you have the holy grail of round mirror stashes! Paul A has generously offered me the part I need so we will see if it makes the journey down under
