Nothing about day/night but if you need a larger rear view mirror you could use this PANORAMA SPIEGEL from HAGUS. It mesures 260MM X 65 MM.

The PR reads:

"3 Feb. 65 215 099 006 Interior rear view mirror
Now: Mirror surface increased.
Mirror arm bent sideways
and mounted on rubber
pads.“


So counting the months from August to February, about half of the 65 production came with the smaller centered version.


BTW: I am missing that rubber pad. It sadly got lost at disassembly Sad Does anyone have a spare to sell?

The gas door buffers work. You may have to modify the lip or cut it off on the rubber.
