This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Since the gaskets are different according to Mike - next question.
    Will correct ones be available for models other than Skylarks ? :Do No:

    Frank,

    The gasket was just very slightly different, so as to fit the different curvatures on the various body styles. You really needed to look hard to see the differences.

    Your Skylark fitting should be able to work for most all bodies.

    Looking forward to seeing this new mirror.

    I got my mirror also and it is hard to tell it apart from the NOS mirror mounted on my car.... Very nice.....

    Be carefull using the template because the mirror was mounted in different locations on the '68 and '69 cars due to the '68 having a vent window. I believe the '69 was mounted further foward on the door. Can anyone verify this? I don't want to feed anyone a line of #$@#:laugh:

    Here is a photo of a drivers side mirror...

    Hey Frank,Are you or anyone else doing 70 LH & RH mirrors? I think they would sell very good [probably much better than the 69's even]
