Man I love those sideview mirrors. appears they mount to the windshield post. where did you get those?

More than likely, I'd say 100% certain they are Harley Davidson in origin.

Just about any motorcycle mirror will work. I have heard that using the back hole can sometimes interfere with the side curtains. If you use the front hole you will have to drill a hole in the inside. I think someone said that some mirrors will thread into the cage nut. PO on my car went upside down and the cage nuts were gone when I got it and butchered holes on the inside were already there.

Always wondered if this method works with side curtains atttached? IE clearance when door is openned...

I have a front disk brake set up, hubs, swivel axels, aframes, etc, etc. Both sides $100 bucks as removed from parts car. Stored for years in plastic tub inside.

Come get em, pick up only.

That is a heck of an offer Jack. Local pick up would "hurt" most people, but since you're near the beach ... someone can pick up parts while on Spring Break.

this is what I did for the outside rear view mirror. Combination of chromed brake parts, machined parts, and motorcycle mirror parts. This item took more of my time to figure out than anything else on the rebuild!.....Yes, the front windscreen bolt screws into a captive nut. the rear bolt does not. If this type of mirror is used on the rear bolt, it will interfere with the sliding windows.....not that I have put the sliding windows on my car! Scott in CA

Thanks for the deal, Jack, but I believe I'll pass on the pick up. Too far for me.
