Sport Mirrors

[jordan]

I have a (single) talbot bullet mirror and I love the look but functionality is around 2%

Dmcbrass, that looks great. When I get to the door stage, I'll have to get with you to get some measurements on the console and some pictures of the door jamb. Those are the same type I have. How's the field of vision in them? Thanks, Jarrell

[maglinjosvinn]

the switch location is perfect. i'm gonna bug you to take a photo of how you ran the door wires tho... heh.

[Dmcbrass]

There is a down side to these mirrors. They have to be located in a different spot in the door. This leaves the old holes exposed. (body work) The field of view is excellent with them mounted in that location. I can furnish you guys with the location when you get to that point.

I have mirrors from a 1981 Datsun/Nissan Maxima on my sons Manta, they are power mirros and look great on the Manta body. I didnt power them up though. But they are paintable to the body color and you can manually adjust the mirror.

I have bullets that look great and were $65 shipped.

I have a set of Buick LeSabre mirrors that are new, and were modified to fit the GT. I decided to use the Mazda Rx7 Mirrors instead because I liked them better. I will be bringing the Buick mirrors to Carlisle if anyone is interested, I don't have the control switch for them.

Found this picture from Opellane's yellow GT. You can see the grommet in the door jamb and the wire sheath passing through

I am going with these, in Amber:

I was thinking something like these. Anyone recognise the ones on the GT? The others are Camaro and Grand National

[soybean]

I can't swear to it without seeing the car in person, but they look like the early Mazda RX 7 mirrors I have for mine, just painted.

That's John Lewis's GT and the mirrors are made for Buick Le Sabre/Park Ave. Same as the pair on my GT. There are more pics of John's GT in BQS4's gallery on page 8 or 9 I think(also depends on how many pics/page you have selected... I think mine was on 18).

I had a very productive day at the bone yard. They had three opel GTs there. My son and I grabbed everything worth taking. Bumbers, trim rings, Gauge panel and gauges, seat skins, door panels, lights, window trim, badging, etc. Next to one of the GTs was an older Chevy El Camino with sport mirrors. The driver's side was cable adjust the pasenger side was manual (roll down the window and poke at the mirror)--Perfect. we were able to place them up agains one of the Opel GTs to check for fit. Other than some very minor grinding at the base to get the angle right, they should fit nicely. They look like the ones in the Camaro picture I posted earlier. Also spotted an old MG (I think) near the Opels. Opened the hood and to my surprise there sat a Weber 32/36 DGAV with electric choke sitting atop a Cannon performance intake. There was also a beautiful custom header there. Unfortunately it mounts to the opposite side of the engine so it points the wrong way. Now here's the clinker... I walked out of there with everything for $50.

Question: I have a mirror shown in this thread at my GT.
Would it be possible to put an "original" one (from Suselbeek parsget) on my door, whithout drilling new holes?

[Gordy]

I've got a set of black "Turbo" mirrors on my red GT (pictured in my photos) which I really like the look of. They mount right where the originals had been.

[markandson]

I am putting Electric RX7 Mirrors on my GT. Here is the modified mounting base and the small 1" x 3 1/8" x 1/8" thick flats that I made with tack welded nuts. I am going to plug weld them to the door so that I have a machine screw thread to attach the mirror bases. The large hole in the middle is for the wires.

Just in case someone didn't like any of the ideas in this thread so far. I wanted to find a vintage type mirror which had the same circular mirror part, buut not the bullet-style ones, and found that the 66 Mustang mirrors are a nice match. I have not put them on my GT yet but have test fit them. They look good and fit the body. The best part of it is that new replicas are sold on ebay all day long for about 35 buck plus shipping. Sorry that I don't have any pictures but I want to do it right when I put them on.

I have found new mirrors at " mirrors.com " for below list prices . HTH, I have the Buick mirrors in manual remote but they also come in ele. and '95 up come in heated mirrors.JM2C

[BQS4]

Here's the LeSabre mirrors John has on his GT. As he stated, these are manual, but, can be gotten in electric and now heated. As you can see, they do go good with the lines of a GT

Is this the site? http://www.auto-lamps-mirrors.com/

You should not have to spend more the $33 each for the Le Sabre mirror, new, electric and including shipping. There are alot of dealers on e-bay that sell them for this or less. In fact there is a listing right now that is under $30:

I do not recall if this was the dealer that I purchased mine from, but I did notice that they do have an 800 number and most will sell you the item at the price listed on e-bay saving you time and the seller paypal fees. I got the switch out of a local junkyard, but decided to change to a switch from a Sable instead because it was smaller. Btw, both switches were under $4.

Here are the mirrors for my old car. I cannot remember where I got them, but they look somewhat close to the originals, high quality, and not too expensive. Well under 100 for both mirrors..mounting hardware..ect

Those are 66 Mustang mirrors.

I'm not sure where the mirrors from my car come from (they look similar to the ones off the Camaro posted earlier), but I like the way they look and thought I would post just as another example for you.

Mirrors look good, as does the rest of the car, where did you get the gas filler. I think that is really neat.
