[Roadsters] Misc: Mirrors: rear view/door; Front Grill emblem

[Pat Horne]

Rick,

I don't recall what year you car is, but I believe the 3 holes above the 
center of the windshield are for visors. My 67.5 came with a 
center-mounted mirror attached to the top of the dash.

Most of the original emblems were cast pot metal, with later units being 
plastic. I don't recall a grill emblem other than the "D" on 2L cars. 
The 1.6L cars came with a center emblem that was just a series of bars 
as I recall.

The exterior mirrors on my daily driver are after market, and I don't 
like them, they look too modern. The mirrors on my parts car look like 
originals, but they are pretty rough. I seem to recall that some folks 
were using MG mirrors on their cars, hope that doesn't make them leak 
oil, or their electrics not work!

We need to get together and take a look at each other's cars. Are you up 
for a trip to Lockhart? We are about 30 miles South of Austin. BBQ is 
big here, I'll treat you to dinner! My car is waiting for me to do an 
engine overhaul, so it can't come to Austin.

Anyone else in the area that wants to get together for dinner, stories 
and show and tell?

Peace,
Pat

> Couple of questions to the group:
> Mirrors: is there a knock-off mirror that is available for the Roadster - rearview and door? I have three holes that are centered above the windshield and run horizontal. I would also like something for the left hand door. Am thinking of losing the mirror on the right side. I would prefer originals however, I understand they are very expensive.
> Front Grill Emblem:  I have a emblem on the car that says Datsun, similar to what I have seen on most cars at the website. Mine is plastic. Is that the case for all? 
> As always, appreciate your input.
