Hi All:

I'm looking for an "old timey" stanchion mounted rear view mirror.

When doing a search, a stainless steel one from Speedway comes up. Any other options out there?

Link to Speedway part.

Thanks,

Tim

Snyder's and likely others sell one that seems to be closer to the original accessory. It is higher priced but may be worth the extra $20. I can't vouch for it since I've not purchased one. They don't make the right side types. Just the left side ones.

This link is the one Snyder's sells. There are some differences but I don't know how original either accessory would be.

Check the thread on your stanchion screws - both fine (24 tpi) and course (18 tpi) were used. Most mirrors seem to be fine thread.
