Re: [T3] Mirrors question?

No, I'm sure, on the early cars the PS mirror was slightly larger than
the DS. They are the same general oval shape but the DS measures (in
inches, H x W) 3.25 x 4.375, while the PS is 4.25 x 5. I know this was
true in 64-65 and I assume it continued through 66 or 67--can anyone
with a post-65 Square confirm this? I have also seen an early RHD PS
mirror, NOS in box with a 362 part number. Definitely not the same as a
LHD DS mirror, if it had been I would have bought it!
