[DML] Re: Passenger's side view mirror



That RH outside mirror is so useless that I have been searching for a
suitable convex replacement. At the local auto parts store I found the
nearest match from a Toyota Crapola or something, and it was *perfect*
except for being about 2-3mm too tall. I tried to trim it down but ended up
with many tiny mirrors instead. :0

I don't think the convex mirrors were really in vogue yet in 1981, but I
really don't know why the flat ones were used. If anybody finds a suitable
replacement for those mirrors I'd be interested to hear.
