You could also buy a universal rear view mirror with the glass mounting pad
- just glue it on and there you go! Early cars have another option. Some
MG's (MGA's I think) had a tension rod on the glass, and the mirror clamped
to that. A cheaper alternative if your expensive to replace or replate
original 65 - 67 mirror is shot or missing. If it is for a 62 - 64, it will
work as well, or you could buy one of the spare used ones that I have!
(sorry, could not resist)
