I've had some time to start putting pieces back on the old convertible. Been going through the boxes of odd bits and found numerous re-chromed parts I can put on, plus some I don't need. Found some nice re-chromed reverse light bezels, but I'll be selling those since I already put a bumper on with decent bezels. Also found a set of back-up delete plates, not re-chromed, just old and grotty.
Anyway, I'm straying here. I found most of the pieces for the remote fender mirror. The mirror housing unit is in paper looking maybe like a re-chrome, not certain. Found the toggle switch and cables, but so far no bezel to thread on the toggle neck when it's protruding out of the dash.
Anybody have one of these kicking around, or an incomplete unit with the bezel if I don't find it?
I realize there weren't many of these, but my first choice would be to try and use it, since the factory hole is already in the dash.

If it's the same as US, I know where there's a couple in a yard but it looks like I won't get there until spring now.

I'm interested in the delete plates. Pm me if and you want to sell 'em. Thanks!

Excellent, that will give me time to hunt for the missing part. It may be in with some other re-chromed parts. I haven't opened all the bags yet, but it could also be lost. I found a re-chromed bezel in with the wiper bezels. Don't have a clue what it's for, but the guy was a chroming fool. Seems like most pieces of the car were chromed or lost, or both :)
Wish I had the dual antennas for the quarters. The holes are there, but the parts are missing. Wonder if NOS sells them.

Kudos to Paris63 for relieving me of my reverse light delete plates. Makes for less clutter in the trunk.
