<VV> Plastic thingys on remote mirror

[Guy Brandes]

Hi all,

After years of searching for the plastic parts for the inside of my 65 remote mirror I now have a working mirror!  Awhile back I tried again on VV to locate a set with virtually no help but Lon Anderson said he would attempt making them with a parts printer if I could supply a set of the original parts, enter Dom Perino (Mr NOS) who offered to lend me a set to let Lon use.  As you may know those plastic thingys were weak and fragile and took very little binding to snap them off.  Bids on e--bay were in the $2000.00 range for remote mirrors for 64 thru 66 and I had everything but those two plastic pieces but now I have a working set made stronger than the original and of a more durable material.  If you have a remote mirror that is or is not working I might suggest that you contact Lon to get a replacement set for the originals and replace them and if your originals are in working condition put them in a box for the future and pop in these more durable pieces or just buy a set and go out and taunt those Corvette guys.

Regards,
