Originality / Re: Exterior mirror ?

« on: August 09, 2008, 04:21:19 PM »

Hi Philip
 I am gonna post a link to a blog I've started as I feel I have strayed away from the CRG Forum ''Originality'' section heading. So if you or any other forum member wish to view the blog to see the car, I have tried to start a sort of diary and story about the car hence the name Camaro Chronicals. By the way Phillip I have never been to the Haynes Museum, in fact I'de never heard of it but I will endevour to get there and see all the cars they have on show apparently its around 380.
All the best

Restoration / Re: Wipers ? RS ?

Scott, that probably sounds about right coz the listings I mentioned listed 67/68 switches so I guess the RS relevence is for the 68. Thats interesting to know. Thank you

Restoration / Wipers ? RS ?

« on: August 07, 2008, 09:00:14 PM »

I am trying to locate a new wiper washer switch for my 67. When I go into parts parts suppliers catalogues, some say not for RS, my car is an RS what is the difference in the switches for 67 cars and are there single and two speed motors. ?
Thanks

Hi Pete
Thanks for that info . It has helped to validate the research and info gathered from all the guys on the forum, that round is the answer and no visible bowtie. I am gonna go for one either side. Its unorthadox but I miss a mirror on the right so much when I drive. Plus my 67 is not a resto.....YET!

Gee's  Phillip
I've struggled big time to get pix to download so apologies to you all. I will get the hang of it please just bare with me .If these come out OK I'll tell you about the car and explain why it looks like a kick back from the 70s.

Believe it or not that price I quoted was from a private seller and I can't be sure if they were new or used. Any way it would have been a bit of a knee jerk purchase and in hindsight I would and am in the process of buying some from a vendor in the USA (fingers crossed). Regarding the VAT Phillip over the last 25ish years I've purchased lots of auto parts, sometimes when they turn up at my door the postman/delivery man wants money for Customs/duty/VAT and other times I  receive the parcel and pay nothing. There seems to be no deffinate policy or just bad management. I'm not to far from Fareham about 70 miles, so if you wanna see a very tidy 67 look me up and we'll have a beer

Thank you for your replies. The reason I asked is, I saw a pair of round 67/68 Firebird /Camaro mirrors on ebay in the UK . Anyway I was outbid and it was probably for the best coz to expect the correct mirrors for my pride and joy would be pushing it. So on the positive side I've saved myself £67.50  about $135.00 
Thanks again for your help...........

Originality / Exterior mirror ?

I know that my car only came with one door mirror but it is rectangular and not round. All the pix I've seen of other cars have round, can any of you shed some light on what would be correct or did they change to round shape on later cars. Mine is November 66.
Thanks  Nigel
