Does anyone make these gaskets My dad's mirrors look like they have a gangsta lean..... Thanks But I do need a set Or if anyone is repoping them
Duane - of this board - did a run of reproductions. Not sure if he still sells them. I have/ had a set, but, not locating them readily.
Duane has been sold out of them for quite some time. I don't know where else to find them, I wish I did.
Nobody like Opg or year one has anything available. Or does it have to be Buick specific Let me see on ebay
Well there are a bunch of different ones available trans am etc... I did see a specific one just for a 70 olds 442 maybe that may work anyone ever try....maybe I'll take a shot at it.
I would think they may work. The casting for the Olds mirrors are the same as the Buick. Not sure about the original gaskets were the same. Like you I am shocked no one makes the correct gaskets for the mirrors.
I own a bunch of 442's and parts,and I can confirm that the 1970 sport mirror gasket will not fit anything else. I have a variety of 71-72 gaskets and 70's Camaro/Firebird gaskets. I will check the numbers tomorrow.
Duane is no longer reproducing them and has not for several years. I believe they are specific to Buick and nothing else will work.
Spoke to Duane this morning. I was correct, mirror gaskets are specific to Buick only. The bases are shared with Olds. On a side note, he MAY be getting back into some stuff down the road a little. He is piled full with family stuff still. He sees a light at the end of the tunnel, but is unsure if it is a train heading towards him or not .
No,I also own 71-72 Olds. The gaskets are flat. I had some spare pedestals,and I was considering angle-milling them. The problem is then the mirror wouldn't tighten because the hole would be too close to the bottom,making it floppy. I'll run it by a few people that have made stuff for me before.
I found mine. I will be using these soon,so not for sale. The peg is in the same location as Camaro/Firebird,but these are wedge-shaped,not flat. The 71-72 442 are also flat,but the peg is offset.
Man that thing is crazy fat... Is there a part number Doesn't anyone have one of those 3D printers in there garage
In the first picture,9827788 I also thought of a 3D printer. A friend of mine made some other plastic pieces using one. If you want to do a small craft project,you could take two Camaro gaskets,shave one,so the peg is gone,and the upper lip is gone,bond it to the bottom of the other,then try and angle-mill it. Keep that resort towards the bottom of the list.
