Reply to "Omni/colt Mirrors for sale"

More info: some Dodge Omni mirrors are cable operated so while they are 'manual' you can adjust them without opening the windows. The cables are only about 8" long so they mount very close to the windows. Originally on the Dodges, the mirrors mounted on a steel plate mounted to the doors; when I mounted ours in the '80s, I used wedge-shaped adapters that are radically different left and right. The wedge-adapters are made of pine and BOLT directly to my Lexan front quarter windows. That way I know I'm not depending on magic goo to hold the mirrors to a piece of glass. The adjusting cables also come through the plastic windows into stock triangular mount castings. Because I'm a little lazy, I roughed out the wood adapters, then spread a thck layer of Bondo on the surfaces that meet the window, added a layer of plastic film and bolted them down. Once it set up, that gave me the exact contour without hours of tedious sanding and refitting. They work well on our narrow body '72 with thinner adapters than are shown in Larry's photos. On "lumpier" GT4,-5 and -5 S cars, the adapters will need to be quite a bit thicker to get a visual shot past the fenders. Solved a problem we had with two drivers a foot apart in height....
