In a picture of the past Clay made mention the mirror may not be correct. I could not figure out how to attach a pic to a PM, so here we are.
Is this an original, if not what does an original look like? Thanks John  |

Here is the correct side mirror for early cars- like a '71.
The problem is these mirrors are getting old. Mine are original to my car and the glass is a bit loose. It is on my list to fix. Probably try to shim the glass tight with something you would never see.  |

Clay picked it out a distance, am in awe. Think you are right, going to be tough to find. First peek showed nothing. |

QUOTE(dhuckabay @ Jun 3 2021, 06:27 PM) Clay picked it out a distance, am in awe. Don't be. It is just 35 years of fooling with these little cars. The only difference between early and late mirrors is the elbow. The rest of the mirror is identical. The later mirror elbow moves the mirror slightly outboard from the early mirror. And you can get kits to replace the glass. I have two early mirrors, one is on Elwood, and the other will be going on the right side of Elwood. I have never understood the reasoning behind not having a right hand mirror (Or left for those who shift with the left hand). It makes it easier to change lanes and look for the cops. Clay |
