     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.

     ps, my SO parents are on holiday in Florida at this moment.
