As part of my ongoing 93 RR restoration project, i need a pair of mirror "boots". Any recommendations on a source for these? OEM seems to be a full mirror assy only, for some $150 or so. My mirrors and mounts are fine, but the rubber/vinyl boots are gone. Appreciate any pointers.
Also, i'd like to go back to a clear windscreen that is as close to original as possible. Any recommendations for essentially an OEM replacement screen without the double bubble etc etc
Many thanks,
r.
I think E-bay is going to be your only chance for the mirror boots, but you might be waiting a long time.
If you can be bothered with the hassle, you could always sell yours on E-bay and buy the OEM set, depending on how much yours would be worth.
It'd take the sting out of the OEM price.
I see complete mirror sets - mirrors, boots and all on ebay for $29 but have no idea of the quality. Can't be great and don't know if the boots would match/fit. But perhaps those are my best bet if no one comes up with a better source.
Turns out that the $30 mirrors were worth buying. I just used the boots in order to keep using as many of the OEM parts as possible in my rebuild. But it would take a close eye to tell the difference. Here's a pic of the inexpensive mirror with and without the boot, then a pic of the OEM mirrors mounted using the aftermarket boots. Here's a link to the mirrors if anyone is interested https://www.ebay.com/itm/332303677173
