uieluck Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Besides original stock door side mirrors does anybody have any other links or suggestions you guys run on 510's? I have google'd until I'm goggled for classic mirrors (power) and have found a bunch of crap and searched the forums,, with nothing. I know some peeps run the fender side mirrors, but I like those merely for the reserved Bluebirds etc. Or has anyone fab'd stock ones into power? Ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 The S110s had power adjust side mirrors. I had a set but they were seized up. They weren't a good fit to the 620 door but might be fine on a 510. Come to think of it the S12s had them too. 1 Quote Link to comment

SoCaLKiDz Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Get some 325i mirrors.. They look sick Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 They are not power mirrors but i used a repro 65 mustang/falcon mirror that i had and i think it looks good. They are on ebay all the time for $20 or so. real chromed metal too. better than those cheezy plastic 80's ones. 1 Quote Link to comment

Your knowledge boggles my membranes sometimes, always teetering on Star(Datsun)Trek nerd level. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

pharouh Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Whoa! I like those. A lot better than $465 for original 620 mirrors. Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 This is a 1964 1/2 to 1966 mustang ford mirror. Roeberk makes an aftermarket mirror that looks just like these. It even fits directly on the Datsun RL411 factory door mirror mount, so the 510 mount should be OK also. Quote Link to comment
sanitys Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 non power. Can be had from mossmotors.com probably the only decent shot i have of them installed, which isnt the best... Quote Link to comment
Silky_Johnson Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Question for hobbes_the_cat or 74datsun620 or anyone else who may know: I bought some of the '65 Mustang mirrors (reproduction) and am anxious to install them on my '71 goon. To install the mirrors in the location that you guys have them, did you drill holes and just use sheet metal screws, or did you find a way to bolt through to nuts (and washers) located on the inside of the door? What I'm finding is that there's a reinforcing bit of sheet metal on the inside of the door right where I want to bolt these in. The angles look off, I'd have to get really long bolts, and there could be clearance issues with the window. I'm leery to just screw directly into the sheet metal as it's so thin, but maybe that's the way to go? It seems like it would be easy to pull the metal up when tightening the sheet metal screws? As anyone can understand, I'd like to get this figured out before I drill any holes. Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I just screwed right into the sheet metal and its holding just fine. Make sure not to strip it though and use long enough screws. That's how the factory did it. Quote Link to comment

They are on ebay all the time for $20 or so. real chromed metal too. better than those cheezy plastic 80's ones. +1 I put a set of cheap re-pop early mustang mirrors on my 620 ... they are a little small, but they work fine. I too like that they are made of metal, not plastic, and have a real chrome plate finish. A great way to go! Quote Link to comment

Hardwyre Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 GAH! What the hell were they thinking? Red!? Why not clear? I would totally sport these on the Z if they had clear lenses with White or yellow LEDs. Quote Link to comment
