Does anyone recognize this type of door pin? If so, what type of mirror do I use (after I remove the paint from the threads Very Happy )?

Thanks

Appears to be for the Rosco mirror, dealer-installed on most U.S.-market ovals.

The entire assembly has been NLA for years. The Rosco 505 was sold as a replacement. The 505 used the same head, but a different hinge pin mount. These too have been NLA since the 1990s.

These still show up occasionally at VW swap meets, often without the head. The head is a standard Rosco design from the '40s-'50s, so they may still be out there.
