Subject: [tcb] Go%#*^!m Mirror
I have looked at the pictures of the mirrors being supplied by Wolfsburg West
and West Coast Metrics and they are all the crap I bought before. The new ones
have a kind of dome that uses a bottom nut to lock down the mirror pivot. It is
…POOP! The real one looks like a bullet and screws down onto a threaded arm.
There should be a thread on each end of the arm. One for the door hinge and the
other to accept the bullet shaped thing that attaches to the mirror with three
screws. God, this is so hard to describe.
I would like to make it to Galveston, but I spent all day building a new mirror
from the scraps in the shop and a bunch of JBWeld. It looks like hammered dog
crap, but for the first time in a long time I have a mirror that doesn’t flop
around in the wind. It seems that my part of the classic car hobby is making
parts I can’t find.
All I need is a mirror arm with a threaded part that is the door hinge with a
thread at the other end. That’s all I need. I have the other parts and I have a
mirror guy that will make me a new piece of glass for $5.
