WTB Early Rdstr Mirror Rod and Brackets
Posted by: HealeyRick
Date: November 06, 2011 06:12PM

I'm trying to locate the locating brackets (top and bottom), fixing nuts and centre rod for the windscreen rear view mirror for an early MGB roadster. I'm trying to fit an early XKE dipping mirror to my Austin-Healey 3000 and understand the MGB brackets will line up with the dash mounts on the Healey . I can find the centre rod from the usual suspects, but can't find the brackets. Anyone have some spares they would like to sell or can direct me to where I can find them?

Thanks in advance,

Rick are'nt all of the B rdst window frames the same? As far as bracket doesn/t one attach the rod to the inside top of the frame and the other the rod threads into a bracket that mounts flush with cowling at the bottom? Pretty sure I may have them, I'll look.

Dave,

I think I may have found what I need, but thanks for the offer. From what I understand the brackets for the early cars are different from the later ones due to the diameter of the center rod. The earlier rod was larger.

"The earlier rod was larger."

Yep.
