<VV> "tend to break"

[Marc Marcoulides]

Lon you have a way with words, as one who has had several remote mirrors on lates all of which broke I don't have one to loan you but wish you well. Once you come up with a remote that doesn't break you will then be ready for an additional project, I suggest world peace, harmony among the races or a cure for the ageing process.

>The 64-66 "two wire" remote mirror has a built-in flaw... the little plastic arms inside the head tend to break where the wires hook up and where the arms move the mirror glass... I'm looking for a test subject to trial-fit some improved pieces... it would help if the only parts inside the mirror that are broken are the little arm pieces. 
>(I'm looking for one that is already broken, so don't go out and break your mirror on my account!)...

>Anyway, the plan is to make and test-fit a replacement part. 
>If someone has one I can borrow, and if the tests are successful, I will return the mirror with the new piece installed at no charge. 
>I'm not out to get a remote mirror for my car (since I'm now almost strictly an FC guy)... and many here can vouch for my reputation.  I have been loaned an NOS piece that I'm in the process of copying, and once that is done I want to test and see where they need "beefing up".
>This may take several months, but the mirror will be inside, not exposed to any elements (except your typical oxygen/nitrogen/argon/carbon dioxide mixture)...
>Do I have any volunteers?
>Let me know... so far, I just need one.
>Later,
