I bought mirrors from rose passion last year.
https://www.rosepassion.com/en/91473103910-...fQaAtzvEALw_wcB I don’t recall what I paid but looks like $142 each now… |

70-71 models had a square arm 72 up had a rounded arm and all factory replacement mirrors have been superseded to the rounded arm. You can see pictures in the 914 restorers guide to authenticity

Early style for a '70 -6, that doesn't cost an arm & leg. there is only one mirror, it fits on both sides. I would give Brad a try 914 Limited, Inc. East Peoria, IL email: p914ltd@yahoo.com 309.694.1797 There are actually 2 different styles of mirrors that have been used as standard on 914s. I don't recall what year the mirror design changed, but the back shape is the difference, not readily apparent unless set side by side. |

QUOTE(bkrantz @ Dec 21 2023, 07:07 PM) Some of us suffer from symmetry OCD, so no thought required.

For me i think appearance is a bigger factor. Go look at a 914 with a single mirror, granted its not as bad as the late 70s 911s with a single mirror it still feels pretty lopsided to me. I dont like my brain being thrown off balance every time i look at my car. |

I'd love to have a passenger mirror on both cars, but every time I think about drilling a hole in perfectly good paint I start sweating profusely... one of these days I'll get up the courage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
