Re: 71 or 72 Sport Mirror Location

I wish I'd had somebody hold the passenger side repro. sport mirror in position while I sat in the driver's seat... like 69-72 said I can't turn it in far enough to see much. I guess mine were made in the same place in China as his, they've been mounted for less than a month and already have bumps in the finish on the mounting piece that I can catch with my thumbnail. I waxed them before I mounted them. They haven't been outside the shop yet. I used my '67 as a reference to measure but apparently the originals are different. WISH we'd had this post a month ago..... 'course my Dad always said "Son, WISH in one hand and ......"
