Mirror mounting for late style bugs

[Steve C]

Hi

I just had my new alloy mirrors welded up by a friend, my car is at the painters now getting ready for a coat of Porsche blood orange.

Thanks for posting Steve, that's nice work.

I plan on doing something similar, but then with a pair of Vitaloni California mirrors.
I got a pair of those for cheap, because the "stalks" are screwed up (someone heated and "readjusted" them).
I plan on removing the entire stalk, smooth it out, and then attach it to a cut of standard VW beetle stalk.
A lot like you did on yours.

I know Joel didn't like the vitaloni because they are useless, but I hope that positioning them further away from the body makes it better.
