In final stages of 64 BJ8 restoration and these bullet mirrors came with the car but were not mounted when I purchased the car many years ago. There are the mounting holes in the fenders and I would like to use them.
Problem is I have two mirrors but only one mounting base and one gasket. There is no brand name identification on any of the pieces. The only identification is three stars on the base and inside the mirror body. No name however. Look at the first photo and you can see the three stars (a logo?) on the base between the 4 and 5 inch mark on the bottom leg of the base.
Can anyone identity the manufacturer? Does anyone might have a base and/or gasket? I suppose I could make a base, but making a rubber gasket that has the lip that forms around the mirror base is not possible. I could just cut a thin sheet of rubber and make a base, but it would not have a lip and would not look right.
Any ideas on how to make a gasket?
Hope someone knows these and provides a source for the parts.
Thanks
