Custom mirrors
What outside mirrors have some of you used other than stock,but still using stock holes? I went to the hot rod shop and looked through 20 differant kinds,can't get them to mount clean. Will like a 77 sport fit,is it plastic,prefer metal. Any billet?

I've made a couple of pairs...
one is a billet/chrome mirror using small harley "golf club" mirrors
and also a pair of F1 style mirrors
I will be selling both pairs as I have some vintage talbot style to goon after the 25th.

Thats exactly what I was trying to do, use a set of v-twins and adapt.I already have the holes and fresh paint,so must mount there.What base did you use? Dosn't anybody make custom parts for vettes or do we have to devise things...

I made my own mounts, just some billet aluminum plate.
I haven't seen any thing cutom for ours that will fit in the stock holes. You have the choice of the factory chrome ones or the later 70's/80's sport mirrors.

I found some at a wrecking yard,they don't sell repro 77/80 sport mirrors anymore. They mount from inside the door,were the 68 mounts from outside, not that big of a deal,I don't want to drill out the original holes though...still looking..
