Okay, I now understand that the mirrors mount to the vent assy rather
than the door frame on a T34, but since you started out with two
cars, each with single mirrors, doesn't that mean that you had a
total of two mirror mounts (one R and one L), which are now both on a
single car? That gives us one car with dual mirrors and one with
none, doesn't it? Yet you say "both will get the dual vent
frame/mirror arrangement." What am I missing here?
OH!!! I think I got it! When you said "both" you must have meant
"both sides of one car" whereas I read it as meaning "both cars."
Is that right now?
