reproduction mirrors
« on: March 31, 2016 - 09:07:01 PM »
Maybe I'm being picky, but I inspected these mirrors from Classic Industries today and the passenger side looks like the glass was mounted crooked. Does anyone know if the glass is supposed to have a relatively consistent gap between glass and housing? The top, left side comes very close to the body and tilts down.

Secondly, the polishing was not continued very far from the outside surface, area near outside edge of glass looks rough.

If it's made like the original the mirror pivots on a ball & you should be able to straighten it out...  And the chrome on originals is similar...

Ok, thanks. I tried pivoting/twisting the mirror but could only get it to push in and out. Could not "clock" it. I'll give it another try.
