The orginal mirror had a plastic washer that went between the nut on the mirror and the paint. It is probably long gone. I don't think they held up to UV ray's very well over 30 years. You should be able to make one out of plastic like from a milk jug maybe. This will protect the paint from scratches. -- Russ Wolfe '71 Fastback AT '66 Fastback MT (IT RUNS) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
