 Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2015 5:44 pm Post subject: Long mirror arm??? |
 |
|
So I ordered this NOS arm from Europe and it seems super long. Anyone have an idea what the deal is? 261 part number.
I need a passenger side mirror, and am aware that it is supposed to be longer than drivers side, but not this much longer. The pic below is next to a drivers side mirror. Thinking of cutting it down, but want to clarify what it is first.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this...

Not too worried about any pressure...
Still haven't had the part number confirmed.
Ill trade it for a regular pass arm regardless. Need one in the next few weeks as the VG paint is getting sprayed on something. Nick has PM'd me already. |
