Anyone know where to find a chrome or similar windshield-clamp mirror to color match (or come close) and easily mount to windshield pictured? All I've been able to find are black.

If your looking for a vintage "look" type this is not a bad one.

Thanks, smaller than I'd like but certainly a good cosmetic match. Seen one or have one? Can't tell if it's a real glass mirror? (says "shatterproof").......my Century mirror is "shatterproof" polished metal/not real glass and after almost 40 years is about useless, but it's a frameless windshield and integral to the center support and so it remains. |

Your right it's just polished chrome,not many choices out there.
I changed the mounting screws to thumb screws so I could remove it easy with no tools. I also had to move out the mirror from the mount using longer screws to get more vertical adjustment.

Thanks, looks like that might do the trick unless someone suggests something better. Like the thumbscrews, where'd you find them? |
