flatcat19 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 The red ones we'll call Fred. The blue can be Barney. Fitting...because each of those cars had no floorboards at some point in their lives. Yabba-dabba-doooo! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Very doubtful they are Datsun mirrors. Not the right style for '80s cars. They're nice just the same. Quote Link to comment
Rjawm Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I believe they are early EC Works race mirrors. Possibly the "Type C" model. Quote Link to comment

A lot of TS Cup cars also used Craftsquare mirrors? There are fake/cheap ones on ebay... https://www.ebay.com/itm/F1-Carbon-Fiber-Look-Dipping-Racing-Side-Mirrors-FOR-Civic-Prelude-S2000-NSX-RSX/112857031799?hash=item1a46cda477:g:610AAOSwquBak8L6 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-GP-Black-Race-Small-Mirrors-Auto-Bike-F1-Type-Kit-Side-Wing-Pair-RH-LH/322031858575?hash=item4afa98338f:g:IywAAOSwNsdXTjf9 Quote Link to comment
Rjawm Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 It's a long shot, and even more expensive most likely, but you could try contacting Pit Road in Japan. As the SuperStreet article I linked below shows, they restored some vintage race cars of that era. http://www.superstreetonline.com/features/sstp-1105-1974-nissan-sunny-b310-1979-nissan-sunny/ The only other thing I could think of were some old 80's knockoff "euro" or sometimes called "aero" mirrors you could use to get the right look without the price. Unfortunately I only remember they were available years ago and cannot find a pic to link too. Quote Link to comment
