| Date: | Tue, 11 Apr 95 20:24:33 EST |
my '66 kombi came with almost rectangular mirrors but a
little narrower at the bottom than the top. they look very
old in design as well as wear. all the pics i see of this
era show round mirrors on the type II. the catalogs i have
show round. i purchased the same shape i got with the bus
from whitney and they sucked,, big time! the chrome looked
very bad, if in fact it was chrome. the ball and socket
joint on the back of the mirror was loose so they wouldn't
stay put and they couldn't be adjusted properly. i sent
them back and haven't bought anything else from them.
anyone have an opinion as to what style mirrors were stock
in '66 and where i might obtain a decent set of
replacements? my right side mirror has no finish left on it
and is half filled with water and has been for four years.
after a few months i marked it and it has changed one bit in
four years. i'm thinking of very small fish in there. at
least a couple snails. even in this florida heat it does
not evaporate. hell,i want new ones anyway. you can't talk
me out of it! rayHave something to add on this topic today? Revive this thread in the forum »
