Power Mirrors
Hey All Super Freaks,
I wanted power mirrors to match my power windows, First i had to find the ones i liked or more to suit the car I wanted Porsche 996 teardrop mirrors. Then found out how much they would cost even on ebay agood set was $400 plus. After much searching i found that Mazda RX7 1993 mirrors look the same found a set on ebay for $80 plus shipping form Japan With switch for the dash. I have just finished the drivers side and wanted to share, I do have a lot of photos of the build as i had to hand make the adapter |

Look tidy - a slight variation on the tear drops but they are good looking, not too cumbersome. How are the mountings done?

Hey All,
I started with a product we have in Australia called Kneed IT it comes in a tube two components you have to kneed and sets like rock you can file it and sand it... First i taped off the section where i wanted to mount them then went to work slowly building up till i had the desired efect then let it set over night. Then spent the next few days shaping till i was happy. As you can see from the mounting plate that came with the mirrors it was a lot of Kneed It. |

Hi, 666Bug,
A very nice application. You have galvanised me into looking again at fitting some Audi 80 ('91) electric mirrors that I have that conveniently came off a more vertical door panel than on the RX7. They are more 'Touring' than 'Sports' but should suit the rest of the vehicle. Clive |

Late 90s MX5 (Miata) mirrors look like they might be a choice? The bases seem a better shape

Interesting thread.
I'm thinking about modifying a pair of mirrors from Volvo 440th They have electric adjustment and heating. |

Hi 666bug, are you still around here? I wonder if you could upload those pictures again... I really loved you conversion, and saved a couple of pics on my hard drive but the whole package would be great
