inside mirror swap
inside mirror swap
My '61 s22 has a mirror arm just like this. Any idea if there's a suitable repop or any interchange? I'd hate to pony up to rechrome...

Consider driver door, trunk lid, rear bumper too

Re: inside mirror swap
If the shaft is held by an allen screw and is round with a milled flat side I may have what you need. I bought a repop for my drop top and mine glues to the windshield. Hard tops mount from the top.

Re: inside mirror swap
Looks just like the one in my 66 Mustang. They are available from about any Mustang supplier.

Re: inside mirror swap
That is exactly what I bought and it won't fit my convertibles. I'll ship it for $30 if anyone wants it.

Re: inside mirror swap
I'm with lip ripper ^ the '61 Comet mirror & arm is not compatible with the Mustang one, wish it were that simple.
I'm due for a headliner and may look into 'converting' to the mustang one, cheaper than a rechrome.

Re: inside mirror swap
That will fit mine. $60 is a little steep. Mine doesn't have the day night lever which is weird.

Re: inside mirror swap
To clear up the confusion, the 61 unit is like the mustang - it is not the same. See below
I expect I'll never find this part with nice chrome so should maybe convert the mount to mustang if/when I do a headliner...

I believe the sedan is different than the hardtop. This could be part of the confussion. Mark

Re: inside mirror swap
I used a real nice day nite mirror from a 65 tbird project and it worked well and looked stock.
