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.  ------------- 1974 Southwind 18 1975 Century Mark II |

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. ------------- 1974 Southwind 18 1975 Century Mark II |

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.  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Thanks, looks like that might do the trick unless someone suggests something better. Like the thumbscrews, where'd you find them? ------------- 1974 Southwind 18 1975 Century Mark II |
