Rear view mirror shaft

[Daniel Kaminsky]

Gentlemen:

A friend has replaced his mirror shaft with one that appears identical to the chrome original, except it is about two or three inches taller. It is the perfect height and no need for those view blocking wooden elevators. He replaced the mirror with the Healey original, so it looks dead right. Only problem is he can't remember where he got it, or the car it came from. Do any of you geniuses know where he might have gotten it? And why doesn't Moss make one with a tall shaft for tall people?

Looks like this. I've found that the factory mirror provides an adequate rear view if the bulk of the convertible top is stuffed into the well behind the rear seat back frame before the top cover is put on.

Well that is one way to do it.

However, I preferred and use a SKI Boat mirror padded and clamped to the top of the wind screen. lets me see over luggage on rack and provides 180 degree rear view.

Thanks, guys for all the input. Now I know several ways to go. What I like about the taller shaft is that it really looks original.

Sampe page Daniel. I replaced my stock mirror shaft with the one that is taller and looks stock. Thanks HealeyRick for provinding the link.
