<VV> West Coast type Mirrors

[Vairtec Corp]

There were several different mirror configurations offered for the 
Corvair trucks and vans from the factory, more from the dealers and 
aftermarket, and still more that have been installed in the past 50 
years.  Many of these have been described as "west coast" mirrors, but 
there is only one specific style that was offered by the factory with 
that name attached:  The 1964-65 "Junior West Coast" mirrors. It is my 
hunch that this is the mirror that you have, but there are lots of 
imitations and so I cannot be certain.

For the factory-authorized Junior West Coast mirror, indeed a special 
screw was used at the upper mount.  I have some of those screws, and I 
have one of the original installation instructions... but nowhere near 
where I am now and nowhere near where I am going to be for a few weeks.

In the meantime, send me a photo of the mirror that you have, and I may 
be able to provide some guidance.

From what I can tell from pictures the mirrors fasten to the door above where the vent glass starts, I don't want to mess up the door gasket so I didn't know if there is a special screw or bolt that goes into the door.
