Mirror questions

Bought a smaller mirror in hope of it turning to the inside and tucking it in.
Glanced thru the webs looking for a shorter arm.

Door doesnt need anymore holes.
Any idea where I'd find a short arm ?

Re: Mirror questions

There are some "out there". If I recall correctly, mine below are from a '78 or '79 van. I can get some measurements in a few days if you'd like.

Re: Mirror questions

Go to a big truck parts store. They have different size arms. And a lot of the cab lites that were used on these trucks. They are not expensive.

Re: Mirror questions

It's been over 10 years, but I went to NAPA and got the elbows for the mirror heads. The guy whipped a book up on the counter that had pages and pages of mirror arms and elbows with drawings and dimensions. That wasn't my regular store and I'm more doubtful than not on how this would go today. But worth a try.

Do you just need that piece? I can look through my mirror collection. Reading your post again I'm not sure if you need the arm to the door or elbow to the head.

Re: Mirror questions

Just the elbow.
Trying to tuck them in a bit or even flip them to the inside like a camper mirror does.
I'll get a measurement when I'm home next.
