I really like these mirriors on member Bob Bertelson's 67 camaro. Can anyone ID these or put me in touch with Bob?

I've got those on my car, or should I say I had them on my car. You have to either make (or adapt) your own mirror posts, or find a set of the straight posts. The straight posts are a bit too long and just don't quite work though. Just ask Steve Rupp how much he liked those mirrors on my car.

Those are the Billet Specialties mirrors alright but the stanchions are o.e. GM units and Jesse Greening http://greeningautocompany.com/ Makes the combined unit but it's certainly doable at home. Another buddy of mine is actually selling a set he didn't use for a project if anyone needs some.

Not certain which is likely why Jesse gets $180 each for them.

The mirrors have a ball joint with a screw end that goes into the mirror posts.

I don't think I used anything. I think I just spun the mirror post around onto the screw end because the ball joint in the mirror is really stiff. I think I remember Dick at Best of Show telling me to use anti-seize or something when screwing the pieces together because one is aluminum and the other is stainless.

Well had some time this weekend to take/break apart one of my old 69 camaro mirriors. They are a press fit mirrior to base. I may look into getting some billet bases made.
