I have an aftermarket I think chrome interior mirror and stem fitted to my early 63 car . Can anybody post up what the correct mirror and stem should look like , I assume it should be black . Need to replace the aftermarket one fitted but just unsure what I am looking for.
Thanks Roy

Should look like this, finished in black crackle paint. There seems to be two sizes of mirror available.

That wider mirror is Morris Minor.

Beat me to it
Mine had a spring fixed after market wider mirror over the top. We switched it to a later plastic one for rallying.

When would this have changed , previous owner has fitted a aftermarket stem with a 3rd mounting screw so annoying . Did it go from this style to a 3 screw mounting and a plastic sucker on the stem ?

All the mirrors shared the three mounting screws, the change to the later style was Autumn '64.

That must be the style I am looking for , 3 mounting holes.

I may have the stalk and glass clamp in my old store - hopefully can check at the weekend - will need refurb if they are still there though.

IF you can't get hold of anything else, I have this (from an old Minor) which might at least provide a reasonable clamp cheaply?
The stem and glass are probably no use to you - and the glass is a bit marked in any case. Just let me know on here or pm sometime if you need one. No hurry: I've had it for years!
