Replacing Passenger Side Mirror- This topic is slightly off topic as my side mirrors are from &2 Camaro. But figured, some people might be interested in the process anyway. My Passenger Side Mirror fell off one night after I hit a Pot Hole. Not just the mirror itself but including the plastic mounting plate behind it. So I could not just purchase the Mirror itself. I would have to fabricate a swivel mount for the mirror and be small enough to fit inside the mirror housing. My Camaro Mirror missing its mirror First, Ebay had the Replacement Mirror for 70-78 Camaro for $18.29-BurcoMirror Glass #2121. Only thing wrong was the mirror didn't come with a Backing Plate. So I traced and made a Template out of cardboard. I traced the Template over a piece of 16 gauge sheet metal. Shears was utilized to cut out Backing Plate. A 1/4" x 1" bolt was tacked to the rear of the Mirror Mounting Plate. New Mirror attached to New Baking Plate Below that is the new Created Mount and new Swivel Mount The New Swivel Mount was located on Ebay. It was a Universal Swivel Mount for small camera on tripods. Two Mounts were only$8.00. The main features were the mount was threaded 1/4" male on one end and 1/4" female threaded on the other end. Also, the Swivel Tension and Mirror Height could both adjustable. This feature was especially important in a custom installation.
