[h=3]Bullet Mirrors/Sport Mirrors BulletMirror.com I recently noticed this place..I wondered if anyone has used them? Prices seem reasonable..[/h]
I was planning on buying these myself but decided to get Buick originals. You can still find them just have to look, place a want ad here on this forum. You can also get the firebird or camaro mirrors at a reasonable price. It just takes time to piece all this together. Note: If you are not a purist, you can use the 70-81 Camaro/Firebird (F-body) sport mirrors on your 70-2 Skylark. The passenger side mirrors on some 75 and all 76-81 mirrors will have the words "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" etched on the surface. When using the F-body mirrors, you will have the thick side gasket on the outer side. The F-body mirrors are much more common and much cheaper than the original 70-2 Skylark mirrors. read the link below on some info on the sports mirrors:http://www.buickperformanceclub.com/HowToInstallSportMirrors.htm http://www.buickperformanceclub.com "join the club" you will learn alot from this website I know I did and George is a great guy to deal with on parts and info.
Hey Lazaro I bought some sport mirrors from a 71 Cutlass..I am looking for the brackets and gaskets..Great info in Georges thread..I was just showing the link to that site for other members that may be looking..I believe the site showed Buick originals for $169.00..I was also curious if anyone has ever purchased from them for future reference..Hopefully they are of good quality and other members will like them..Thanks for the info about joining the club..:TU: Bill Hurst
While we are on the subject, does anyone know of a mirror upgrade for the 65 Skylarks? I think the problem may be with the gaskets as the door is concave where the mirror attaches.
The gaskets and brackets that are reproduced for camaro and firebird should work,you can look for it on ebay or the other parts resellers see links below: I use NPD think is the cheapest you can get many parts from the chevelle catalog same as buick in some parts. 1. cars old buick parts....http://www.oldbuickparts.com/catalog/1961-up-skylark-gs-c-38.html 2. NPD.......http://www.npdlink.com/store/catalog/Firebird_Outside_Mirror_Mounting-8068-1.html 3. OPGI....http://www.opgi.com/c/skylark/1970/parts.html 4. The parts place....http://www.thepartsplaceinc.com/ocatalog/part.asp?VID=7&YearList=1970 etc.....
Laz Thanks for the heads up...I went ahead and ordered from TPP...The brackets and gaskets came to 28.00 (10 per bracket/4 per gasket) also got a few other parts from them (horn contact, cam spring kit)..shipping was only $5.00.. I've read mixed reviews so will post back if parts don't work or fit proper.. Bill Hurst
