Chris,

No, the mirrors I got FF are a perfect fit on both the top and bottom. I
just trying figure out the best way to attach the tops. The mirror
housing has the following stamped on it (reading left to right): Wilke
II E1 001070. I assume Wilke is manufacturer and the rest is the part
number. I thought up until  just looked the mirrors that they were OEM
but perhaps not.

Also does anyone know the name of the company has the incredible
selection of fasteners? Is it McMaster and something maybe?
