    Hi guys,

    Was contacted recently by the owner of a parts company that is now in process of reproducing all the chrome outside mirrors for our A bodies. He is short of a passenger outside rearview mirror.. does not have to be perfect, the mirror is needed to scan so they can get all the correct dimensions to repop it. I can't promise anything, but in the past, when this guy has done something, and someone has stepped forward to offer up a part, that person has recieved one of the new repops.

    It would be great if we could come up with a 70, so it has the tri-shields in it, so they could have that exact pattern.

    So if you have something lying around the shop that is not really nice enough to put on your car, but too nice to throw away, then that is the one I am looking for.

    Let me know

    Jim,

    When do you need one by and do you know the turn around time?

    I have a nice one here that I got on Craigslist and judging by the temperature and the amount of snow we have up here in MA, I'm not gonna need it for a few months.

    Also, maybe he can scan the gaskets as well?

    Let me know. 20180107_172201.jpg

    RH Gaskets and RH mounts would be a plus(I need both)

    Gaskets and mounts are the same for both sides.

    Ya, I am sure he will be making all the gaskets and mounts, for both sides.

    Brett, I will check with my guy and see what the time frame is, but I am more inclined to go with Fred's, I would hate for you not to have your mirror when spring hits.. I suspect this is a longer term deal than that, but I don't really know.

    That works for me. I hope this comes to fruition.

    Hello Jim, I am looking for a passenger side chrome mirror as well for my 70 skylark gs. I have a non Tri shield driver side, nothing on passenger. Would prefer tri shields on both sides, so very interested in the remanufactured mirrors you’re speaking of. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Carey
