ray, hmm, sounds like you've got big mirror problems. Well my '64 came with two small rounded rectangular mirrors which are the same size at the top and bottom - they are the original ones. My mates (Danny) came with two little round ones. Since I got mine I fitted West-Coast-Metric 'Elephant ears', now I wasn't very happy with them coz the arms were painted black, and the screws which hold the mirror to the swivel clamp went rusty in a week! There's a place over here called KDF Enterprises that do a either genuine EE's or very goos fakes. I'll dig out there number - oops I think I was supposed to do this for someone else as well (Michael.Heron?). Anyway because my door hinges were worn out I made new arms for my EE mirrors out of stainless steel - I also made them 1inch longer and bent them further out so I could see more, I then replaced the clamp screws with SS ones as well. Lee. ps, my SO parents are on holiday in Florida at this moment.
