The mirror on the right is the one I pulled of my /6 to be replaced with the one on the left. When I initially saw the dull, non-reflective base I assumed it was a cheap-o aftermarket/MIM part. But the NOS one I purchased was identical when it arrived, down to the part # stamped on the back.
What gives, anyone know? It looks like the base is a different material and just plated to match? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  |

Looks like the chrome has been stipped off the base of the old mirror.

Ditto......According to the factory parts manual..1/80 print....section..8/11.. part #7....was sold as an entire unit...I know I have seen roughly 90 to 100 914's over the years...never as your pic.....Save it though.... Maybe it was beer 30 that day on the assembly line!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
