Can anybody tell me where I can get mirror arm screws etc, that connect the arm to the body?
I have looked on the thread 'where to go for repro stuff', but the chap does not seem to have any for sale.

Thanks in advance.

Sean.

fax 0231-47-83-57 not sure what numbers you have to add to get through from your end.
This guy also sells Schwimmer and Kubel parts
BeaterBD can probably still supply them?

Thanks, I have sent an email, but no reply, as yet.

didn't MarkL make them at some point, or was that only the hinge and arm? (which, by the way, are a really nice reproduction)

are there nuts welded into the pillars for the screws ??
i fancy making some for my chickensplit, i think i can make a pair {in stainless} cheaper than buying stainless hinge pin mirrors

I have some of these screws, would they be correct for the mirror arm.

They are M8 and hinged part is 19mm

If I would sell some set of 2 what would be a fair price to ask for the pair.

Tue Dec 06, 2011 1:03 pm

€1? :wink: ... If you have a lot of them, i will take 4

Tue Dec 06, 2011 1:48 pm

I will take 2 cut the postage costs down Si

I have just shipped some to US for feedback. I will start selling them as soon as I get the postitive feedback. Does anyone know the thread kode is it 1,25?

Tue Dec 06, 2011 3:39 pm

4 for me, please! Save on the postage a tad more guys.

Please contact the person above if you want to buy some, please don't full the forums with "I'll take one too" type messages.

Thank you.

I havent got any feedback on what to charge, would 10-15$ a pair sound fair. I have only a limited number of these.

The thread is std M8X1.25 as far as i know....PM'd you Gustav

the kubel chap does them for 1 euro each so 15 euros a pair sounds expensive...

10$ is 7.5 euro thats 3,75euro each. thats not much more than a german beer. BTW these are old and limited.

Who's the Kubel guy? The guy in eastern Europe who makes repo kubel's and schwim's?

Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:43 pm

he's usually at Hessisch or Bad Camberg, he could be at other European shows but I dont go to them (yet).

When you break it down 3,75 euro doesnt sound bad for a screw, but 3,75 euro for a beer is ridiculous :lol:
