    I have been driving my car more recently. I really need a right sideview mirror to feel comfortable driving it, especially with the top up. Also my rearview mirror (windshield mount,12 inch with map light) glass is really bad. Can anyone recommend a repo? Most of that stuff is hit and miss. It is a nice driver and if anyone has good used I would lean that way. Current right sideview mirrors on ebay start at HUGE money. I need brackets gaskets and hardware. TIA John

    I have a pretty decent rear view w/light I'd sell. Silvering isn't perfect but is very nice. Housing has a small dent. $45

    There's a restored one listed on here in the "Parts For Sale" forum as well (not mine) & someone else who restores them but I don't remember his name.

    For a RH side view, were you looking at the repro chrome ones? Not a lot of options if you want something factory. I might have a used one I'd sell. If so, unfortunately, I bought whatever I have before the repro were available & so paid decent $ for them. I'd take a loss but... Lmk if you're interested & I'll look.

    I have the repro's if you decide to go that route.

    You can find them on the website by searching "Mirror". I have a bunch of options including brackets and hardware . . . . Or give me a call!

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    If the mirror housing isn't bad and only the glass is shot, I have a mirror guy who can re-silver them. Hopefully he isn't dead or retired, that seems to be happening a lot these days.

    I felt the same way when I first got mine. I bought a set of sport mirrors online and had them painted to match. Makes the car much more driveable.. just beware using incorrect base gaskets as the mirrors will look too angled in.
