Chim/Griff wing mirrors

[CHIMV8]

Can you get replacement centre fixing bracket as shown below?

If not,anyone have a pair of mirrors i could purchase

My advice is to repair & rebuild what you have Mark.

Mine are like an iron maiden inside all held together with bolts & pop rivets, you cant see all the repairs from the outside & the end result is actually a stronger mirror than when they were new.

There's a pair on Classifieds at the moment.

Ends at 12:57 Sat. And it's only the backing shell without the metal support bracket etc. £15 though with no bids!

A friend on mine has had the Corrado mirrors fitted, They look good but not cheap with all the rewiring involved, including putting the door release button in it.

Somebody got it for £15, and my impression is that it did have the part the OP wanted, as there is clearly a metal part in there. Tell me if I am wrong please.

That casting is available from Racetech for £50 plus delivery and VAT.

I have one arriving today, though it may be going back as I seem to have mended mine with Evostick Serious Glue and a big washer

See bottom of page 2 on this current Griff forum............

Have now stuck an M16 washer onto the post side of the join to create a washer sandwich around the break, and reassembled the mirror. If I can screw it back onto the car and fully tighten it tomorrow without breaking the join, then job's a goodun.

Photos of the second washer in place to follow.

What ever way you go,its the best thing,these mirrors are worse than rocking horse dung to get hold of.

And the ones you can are over priced and passenger side only!!!

[GTRene]

arent those the mirrors of a Citroën CX ?

if so they are also on those 5 or so cars>

Here's the photo of the second washer stuck in place.

Mirror went back on the car today and I had no problems. The glue has worked a treat.



And the first one
