Side mirrors
 

I want to run 2nd Gen F-body side mirrors on my car, so for those that have done that, where did you score your set? Seems to me that this has been discussed in the past and there was a place/storefront on Ebay that specialized in that.

I had talked to Mark about it, and he mentioned that side mirrors off the '77 Malibu is a better fit.

Comments? Suggestions? :thumbsup:

I had a set for my last Camaro, and they are a bolt on basically. Maybe some slight shaping to the base. I just bought repro ones from the local "Classic Industries" type shop.

Mine are repro one's also.

Hello Scott,

Have you seen this topic ?

I got a set of bolt on style - as Mark had - from ebay at 50 bucks.

Aha, that's the thread that I was thinking of.... :thumbsup:

Scott, if you can't find any let me know. I've got a used set of second gen mirrors and bought new replacement mirrors and gaskets. They did'nt work on my 67 because of the vent windows.

scott, i have several pairs of them . if you need a set let me no .

I have learned this...
 

I prefer the late 70's Chevelle mirrors over the second gen camaro mirrors. The A-body base has two studs and the gasket and works much better than the f-body version that uses a bracket like on the first gen camaro mirrors. Also the camaro mirror is a little shorter and I prefered the taller Chevelle mirror like Mark used on the Mule. If you need a visual I have pics of both installed.

I've had both (chevelle/camaro) on the car and then went back to stock in the end :)

I bought 4 sets off ebay before I found a real nice set for a fair price. The Ebay store I would recommend is called something like California Parts...but they are located elsewhere...I think they just buy a lot of California parts cars.

Hey Anthony- I would love to see installed pics if you don't mind. I haven't decided on what I want to do yet.

thanks!

I had purchased a set of new 2nd gen mirrors for my 442, but decided against them when I discovered that the two sides are shaped differently. I don't know why this seemed important to me, as I had never noticed this on any of the cars I have seen them on, but for some reason it made a difference.

Shiny Side Up!
