Re: {Chrysler 300} Mirror and Bowden cable clios

[John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

thank you Henry , we found an all chrome one with good glass and ball stud , for some brand X   . 
But it turns out ( of course ) the stud thread is different . 
We retapped  rod right through old tapping seems ok 
original are black? 
You ever notice they moved mirror to gauge hood in 58 ? 
No one liked that whole idea , plus it falls down all the time unless reworked .
In retrospect might consider modern glue on glass … if you want a real mirror you can use

After that, reproduction external mirrors became available (that's annoying!) but I don't think that will happen for internal ones.  I know there is less used parts available on ebay these days but it was the sort of part that was easier to find.  I would just use the one you have until you find a better one.
