    Repo 1970 passenger side mirror "base" will this fit other models
    « on: July 20, 2005 - 06:52:47 AM »
    This is my first Mopar restoration in 16 years and I was noticing that Dantes was selling the 1970 passenger side mirror base........which I assume is the shorter base........they have a pic of it on their website.    Can you use this base on a later model 71 or 72 mirror and housing to get the correct appearance?     They have an ad on the front page of moparts.........  It seems easier to find later model mirrors for the passenger side than for the 70 model.......and seems like I heard the 70 passenger side mirror doesnt look exactly like the drivers side in appearance............not sure about this one...........thanks for your input......

    passenger and drivers side mirror and mirror mount is different on 70s.  passenger's is a true oval, while the driver's has slightly straighter sides.  We went through the difficulty of getting new correct glass for both.

    Some A-body mirror heads are correct for the RH e-body.  I think 70-71, but not certain.  The repro bases launched those mirrrors.

    Agree, I think that is why the A body racing mirrors sell for such a good price
