    Not sure what board fits this topic but anyhow. I got a set of sport mirrors that I think are off a Lemans or Tempest that im trying to put on my buick. See pic. Did some reshearch and looks like I need the wedge gasket anyone know of a place I can order these from. Know thier was a member on this site that was producing them but believe that was awhile ago and no longer valid.

    Duane is out of them and not making any more right now.

    The sport mirrors are different but you can try flipping the gasket to make them fit better.

    They don't even look like the right mirrors.

    My gaskets only work on the correct mirror housings, so they probably won't help you anyway.

    You might possibly have to create your own gaskets to make the tops parallel to the ground.

    I put the Buick sport mirrors on my Riv and had to not only flip the gasket but shave the thin side thinner and also relocate the mounting point 1/2" up the door to get the correct angle so the unit would sit correctly on the side of the car. Had to weld in a support on the inside of the R door as they were never designed for mirrors on that side. Point is.. if ya want it bad enough there's always a way to make it work.
