Delswift mirrors
Posted: Sat Jun 22, 2013 1:13 am
Going thru the garage looking for spare parts to carry along in the trip to Big Bear Lake this summer I found a box with some older Delswift mirrors in it. They used to be popular on early buggies and were even in the early manx catalog. Only problem is with mounting them. Probably why they were still in the box.
Anyone know the size and thread type of the pipe nipple that connects this mirror used on many British and other sports cars in the sixties to the fender. It does not appear to be a standard inch or metric size.
Better yet where can I get some. The original is approx 1" long I need at least 1 1/2" to 2" long. It's between 5/8" and 16mm OD.
I have looked at Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace, Fastenall, even lamp shops. No luck. I'd prefer not to have to tap a new size into the mirror base.
