Mirror
My question, did Porsche offer different mirrors for right and left sides for 356 cars?
I have a mirror that has a twist in the neck, looks like it would be for the right side.
Its an original mirror, I believe Aero, with the markings on the head.

Re: Mirrior
According to my good friend Jesse Rodriguez (r.i.p.), there was a left and right Aero mirror.

shaft in to that position, but who knows.
Thank you, Mike. Jesse would have known..

Re: Mirrior
Hi Jesse
I am considering placing the mirror on the right side of my 60 Roadster.
On your car, is having the second mirror giving you extra vision? I dont
want to drill holes just for looks.
Do you have a picture with the second mirror in place?
Dr Johnson's book does not mention that there is a mirror for the right side,
since it has a bend to the left I call it my Democrat.

Re: Mirror
John, this is an A mirror.. too early for your roadster... but you could always pass it as 'leftover part from dealer stock'. I would personally go for a Talbot or a ponto stabil

Hi Jules
Its the type that is on the drivers side so I have little choice.
I like to form anyway, has a good sweeping look.
