Hey all. The previous owner of my '73 replaced both side mirrors with Vitaloni "Baby Tornado" mirrors (Model 33298).
I guess this was popular back in the day. I don't really like them. Anyway, yesterday the end of the base part broke on the passenger one (see photo). I have it super-glued, but I doubt that will hold, and I expect the mirror may come flying off when driving, so no good. So, any of you got a spare passenger mirror. Or, just the bottom part of the mirror (not the mounting bracket that screws to the car, but the base of the mirror).? Looks like I can still get a new Vitaloni for about $85. Alternatively, any suggestions for some other decent replacement mirrors that would look better? The problem is, the Vitaloni holes are spaced on 3" centers for the mounting bracket, so if I use OEM 914 mirrors I'm stuck with these holes. So, whatever I use has to have a bracket that will accept 3" centers for the mounting plate screws. Attached image(s)

PEP Boys used to sell the Vitaloni flag mirrors. Seems like they discontinued them. Good news is they are easy to find used: Swap meets most of the time..
I used them for years until going to 911 flag mirrors. |
