It seems that it's just one little thing after another.

So far this summer I've replaced the ECU in my 84 Westy 1.9L (which was
a little thing thanks to listmember Bill in Billings).

Now I need to replace the brake lines (all of them) and bleeder screws
(completely rusted & seized) as well as replace rears shoes and front
pads and calipers. Fair enough for a 15 year old vehicle in winter salt
country.

But what really pi**ed me off was my passenger door mirror. Actually,
both driver and passenger are in bad shape with peeling reflective
backing and full length cracks running up the plastic housings.

On my last road trip the passengers mirror would flop down gradually, it
would be shoved forward by a good tailwind, and generally hold it's
position for no more than an hour.

When I got home I took the passenger mirror off and gave the spring
retaining nut an couple of turns to restore stability. Sure enough the
threaded stud sheared off. A close look at the remaining stump of the
stud showed that the damn thing is made of white metal. I wonder how
many other fittings (like the sliding door handle) are made of this
crap.

To make my already long story shorter does anyone have a pair of mirrors
in decent condition they would like to sell. If not the pair, than just
the passenger ? Alternatively, has anyone tried a different style of
mirror that can be bought at a FLAPS and gives you good coverage and
doesn't require too much door butchery ?

TIA
