 |
|
My 73 has two different side mirrors and I am trying to find a match to one or the other. Alternatively I would replace both if I could find the correct mirror or determine what might work. I looked at 66-74 Karmann Ghia mirrors which have a pleasing shape but can not ascertain if they would work. Ideas and thoughts?

You have two Pass side mirrors. The pear shape one I believe is correct until 1967, the square 68 on. The driver side does not take a long mirror arm unless it is a RHD car, it should be very short. When you find the correct one, I'd be interested in the pear shape one, if it's not too pitted.

Everything sounds good on paper! |

| Do you have a suggestion of where I might look? I have tried Jbugs and they recommended ISP West, however their website does not seem to be loading. |
