does not opg sell the correct gaskets?
-------------------------------

I've always figured the 70-72 Buick sport mirrors and 70-81 Camaro sport mirrors were the same except for the gaskets. If you used the Camaro gaskets, the mirrors leaned in too much.

A few years back someone, maybe Cars or Poston, can't remember, sold gaskets that worked. I bought a pair.

I have a set of Camaro mirrors I want to put on my 71 but gaskets were hard to find.

Enter my buddy with a 3D printer. I brought my old one in and he modeled it up and printed me one to test with.

Now, this one is printed at low resolution and of a material called PLA which is not UV stable. He can print them in ABS if there is interest. What would a pair of these be worth?

Ignore my poor photography and my very old paint job GS.

First 3 pics are of the brand new, 3D printed, low resolution test gasket.
Fourth pic is of my car with my old gasket for comparison
Fifth pic is of new gasket in same shot
Next three are of my mirror with the new gasket from different angles
Last two are of comparison of old and freshly printed
