We just replaced black 69 mirrors w/chrome EMPI T1 mirrors. Much better/safer view on the passenger side & chrome to boot! The triangular mounting bracket weld is broken loose on the passenger side though.  |

| We thought these big,black plastic mirrors were stock since both our 69 & 72 have them. Jim Adney told us they have to be aftermarket. |

My 71 has the screw in chrome mirrors on both sides.

| The EMPI T1 mirrors are just a little bigger than our 67 mirrors and give a better view! They are a good/cheap replacement if you want a better view or need new mirrors. |

I kinda do...the OG one I have is TOTALLY deteriorated, more like looking into a bowl of confeti than a mirror.
From what I have found, it's the passenger side chrome mirrors that are hell to find...I rather think someone stole my pass side befreo I had the mirror.
