For Sale Ultra Rare 1964 FJ40 rear view mirror. $300.00

[Splangy]

I thought this one I have was for an Fj45LV wagon but kinda looks like it would fit those holes. Maybe it fits a 25 series as well?

That’s a 1964-1967 mirror for all 40 series. I believe the OP’s is 1963 and older for all models (fj25, FJ40, FJ45, etc..)

Thanks for the clarification @Splangy

As I mentioned above, I need the 2 hole version like the one that started this thread. I’m not in a position to spend a lot on one right now, so if anyone has an affordable one that needs restored, with bad, cracked or even missing glass, send me a PM.

I was hatching a plan before the fever hit me. A poor mans DIY copy. An eyeglasses case looked roughly of similar size and shape. Just add glass, arm, glue and paint. Hell I'm ready to start making rare stuff out of paper mache'.

I have a question. My rig has 2 holes as well, 2"s apart. What's the third larger hole in the mirror bracket for?

 

[Splangy]

Here’s a similar mirror. Not the ones I’m used to seeing, but it’ll work with the shaft swapped out. The ones I see have a curved shaft that could be straightened and threaded to work. You’d still need a mounting bracket, but that’s the easy part to make.

Don’t pay $50. I see them at swap meets for $5

I have one identical to the post above. I’m not opposed to selling it. Possibly a Vader Light too

PM'ed

I have a extra fj25 mirror if someone is looking for one

Is this thread for real? I need in on this before the market is flooded with cheap knockoffs....

I found the mirror head that is almost a perfect match. Same size, same rear post, even has the, two small rivets. Only thing missing is the bracket. Its even made out of stainless steel.
I am going to look into getting a bunch if brackets laser cut out of stainless.

A patina takes longer with stainless, but eventually it will get there. A Delorian look w/o paint.

And one that fit these holes, a small window of 65’s fell in this design. I know at least one mudder who has one in his rig lol.

This style was used from some time in 64 until the 68 model when DOT require the mirror to be breakaway in a accident. My 9/64 FJ45LP-B has one. The arm length was different depending on which model.

Thought I posted this earlier.

As for the earlier mirror a longer reproduction arm has already been done. I know I have a couple of them somewhere.

Keep me posted on what you can work out on the brackets and this mirror head. Something like this would be fine for my purposes.

 

[thecrazygreek]

Heres some pics of the bracket for those that want to make your own.
The eye to eye measurement of the mounting holes is 2 and 1/8th inch exactly.

Is this an old oem mirror? It came in a box of stuff with my 45

 

[thecrazygreek]

Looks like one. I would say yes...
