Default Looking for a rear view mirror

Hey guys. I'm looking for a much larger rear view mirror for my camaro. The stock 67 one is much too small. Is there another one that hooks up the same way, but is larger?

Mary Pozzi has a similar setup like you described in her '73 racer,I think it's a Longacre item.Great visability.

It looks like a kit that would attach to the old mirror, is that what it is? I would want a new mirror that is bigger, not something that attaches to the old mirror if possible.

Go to the junkyard with screw drivers, allen wrenches and a tape measurer and buy your three favorites. They should all attach the same way as your factory unit.

You can get a chevy or ford one that mounts to the windsheild on a metal tab.

Doesn't Dakota Digital make glass mounted mirrors with map lights? Might be an option.

I think Mark used a GM glass mount in the Mule.

Ryno Mfg makes one that could be anodized and is pretty slick I have used it in a few cars.

http://www.rynomfg.com/

click under products
scroll down to rear view mirrors, don't mind all the mini truck stuff
You will find the universal, oval mirror

I could not figure a way to post the link, something to do with the website. Or me.....

If your interested let me know.

I remember what rear view mirror you are talking about...I will try and find something for you.

What was the final dyno numbers on your car? Do you have a dyno sheet?
