Mirrors
I realize this is a bit OT, but while at Hershey today, I spotted a 1948 Desoto that had side view mirrors attached where the cowl moulding is located on a
P15. Looked like they were factory stock, and took the place of the stock trim.. Were they? If so, I'd be interested in finding a pair for my P15. Anyone seen these before?
The VW pins are totally wrong for our Mopars (way too short and too fat) so I cut the threaded top off the VW hinge pin and welded it onto the Chrysler pin.
BTW- does anybody know what diameter our hinge pins are supposed to be? Mine didn't match.
VW mirrors are pretty reasonably priced, but be aware that the quality can vary widely. As you'd expect, the best are the old "Hecho in Germany" ones.
