Bullet mirrors for 1st gen Camaro - Lateral-g Forums

RdHuggr68 · #1 02-07-2017, 07:37 PM

I have a set of 2nd gen mirrors for my 68 Camaro I am installing after paint. Recently I saw a 73 Chevelle with bullet mirrors and after checking it out , the 73 Chevelle SS came with the same style mirrors. Are these mirrors identical to the 2nd gen Camaro? Also do the 2nd gen mirrors have to be modified to install on the 1st gen Camaro?

Thanks

The Chevelle mirrors are bigger and the mounting posts are also different.

Do the Chevelle mirrors fit better than the 2nd gen Camaro mirrors?

The Chevelle mirror posts have studs sticking out of them while the 2nd Gen mirrors have a mounting bracket. I don't know personally which would fit better but I would think that the 2nd Gen would be easier to fit to a 1st Gen. I have not mounted either though.

I have second Gen mirrors on mine and there were no mods needed. If I remember right the only difference was the hole placement on the mounting plate. if yours are already welded up just make new ones. If they are still there use one of the holes and then drill the second one to work with the base plate. I also used the second gen cabled remote on mine.

Thanks for the info, I havent filled in any holes yet and I have the 2nd gen mirrors so I will use them.
