[Roadsters] second mirror

[Mark Sedlack]

Dan,

I've heard varying accounts of what mirrors were used, and who put them on. 
I've seen low-windshield cars, side-by-side, that had different mirrors when 
both owners swear that the mirrors on them when new.  I've heard accounts 
that  mirrors were installed at the dealer.  Other accounts that the dealers 
would remove a single, Datsun supplied driver's side to add a pair of 
matching mirrors. And still other account that Datsun used whatever parts 
were available the day they were producing. I think any of these would only 
concern a purist, which my car will tell you I'm not.

I've got dual Radyot reproduction mirrors on the "R", our custom '66. 
Driver's side is flat, and passenger is convex.

I got them because I liked they way they look, and they are period correct 
for racing.  They're small, vibrate a bit, and are locked in position - no 
adjustment once you tighten the ball nut, but they do an acceptable job of 
showing the car I just passed......

If you are going to mount them on the fenders, you'll need a helper to move 
them around the find your sweet spot, for your mirrors.
