RE: [DML] Alternative mirror suggestion

["Gus Schlachter" <gus@xxxx>]

Bob and others,

I have searched but cannot find the convex mirror that I originally bought.
Like I said, it was too large and I destroyed it trying to trim it, so I
gave up.

I made a cutout of my current mirror size and went looking again. While I
don't think I found the one I used before, I did find another candidate.
It's Motormite "LOOK!" #51063. I've put a scan of it in the vault (with a
US quarter for scale):

It will fit over the current mirror without modification, but barely. It
has to sit crooked, and will catch if the breakaway mirror housing is folded
with the mirror toward the car. But the visibility is sooooo much better!
I think to fit correctly it would need a cut on two sides, in which case
almost any mirror would do. There were other Motormite mirrors that were
close, but they still looked like they'd need two cuts. I still haven't
given up on finding an OEM mirror somewhere that will fit....
