You too can have a mirror like this for less than the ebay price! I tried to make one of my own and it turned out pretty damn good for the prototype. Pic quality is crap because my camera is too. If anyone wants me to make them one I could do it.

It goes where your visor center thingy goes, and it removes the necessity for the stick on mirror while moving your visors closer to the roof for better shielding. You want one? I am thinking of making them for sale.

I would be totally in for one of those, but first, any idea what kind of $$$ you'd be needing?

Right now I am looking at $50 or less including shipping. Hows that sound? All I would need form the buyer is their original visor center part. I am posting here to see interest, and opinions.
Let 'em rip. |

Im in. Are those machined bases? And do you need the mirror itself for the core? My glass is messed up (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif).

Matt,
Nope, I use a different mirror than stock. All I would need from each person is the center pivot for the visors. It is where I get the pins from. Glass mounted mirrors suck!

Do you mean the mount for the visors or the chrome posts...? Ron |

Oops, sorry. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (I pulled one off of a bimmer we stripped last month, that's why I recognized it. You stole my idea, BTW (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) ) |

318? 325? Not really sure. We stripped a bunch of cars recently (trying to clean up some of the excess cars so I can get one of mine down there to work on). The mirror was a pull-off type, not a screw-in type. I also pulled some Volvo retractable rear seat seat belts to try in the 70. I'm gonna try & avoid having to use non-retractable belts.
