Interior mirror for a DHC

PostPost by: Gemini1962 » Mon Oct 28, 2024 10:57 am

Does anybody know how close this repro mirror is to the original one fitted to a 1967 DHC...

My car is missing its mirror and I'm guessing the originals are almost impossible to find?

Good morning Gemini,
That looks just like the one I bought at a car show. In my case the rod clamp needed a slight modification to grip firmly. Maybe my replacement rod was a different diameter. That one seems expensive to me, but then I am a cheapskate.
Can I suggest that you add your name and approximate location to your posts, It makes it more friendly.

It looks the same at the one I bought from R.D. Enterprises a few years ago, shown in the photo. The one originally in my car was completely wrong.

I think it looks reasonably similar to the "original" shown by Sploder90 in this thread:
