What is the difference between early and late 914 mirrors? Pictures please?

Don't have pics offhand, but the difference is the bend in the arm. I think the early bend is a tighter one, and the later is a slightly larger radius. I could have that switched around, though.
So, was the dividing line at 1974 = "old" and '75-'76 = "new?" Which mirror goes on my '73?

New one - the one with the bigger radius on the leg and the marking on the mirror back.

Check the link I provided. The changeover happened in the middle of the 72 model year.

So the right side mirror was an option! You just saved me a few hundred $$ and a few pounds of drag. I like that single mirror look. Thx for posting that, Dave.

You're right, Dave. I'll go check my mirror. Thanks.
