I'm curious....how did you get the mirror off the windshield of the  
Pick-A_Part car?

I went  to the local Pick-A-Part and snagged a rearview mirror
with the metal  mounting plate that's glued to the windshield.
Price <$10.  I  preferred a day/night mirror.  Almost any make
in the yard will  do.  Remove the orginal mirror and arm but
retain for concurs  judging.  Before judging remove the modern
mirror and install the  orginal mirror.

A bonus with the day/night is the ability to flip the  mirror when
a SUV or Pickup is behind you with its lights aimed  high.

Well the old plastic backing on my mirror  finally rotted completely out. In
poking around on the web and deciding  that I was going to make a new 
bracket
and get a regular mirror when I came  across what might just be perfect 
Tiger
replacement Mirror (for me at  least).

I
picked  up one of the billet mirrors with the flat windshield mount for 
about
$45  bucks. It is the exact same size as the tiny Tiger mirror and really
nicely  made. The slope of the windshield looks like it would be about at  
the
adjustment limit with the flat glue mount on initial testing, but still  
might
be ok as the mirror has a ton of adjustment with the way the back is  
notched.
BUT they do have a high slope base as well which will work  too!

About the
only thing that is in question is it's a bit heavy so  hopefully the glue is
strong.

I'd post a picture here but you know  how that goes :) But I'll get
some detailed shots on my site when I get a  breather.
