Wanted - Lancia Beta Series 1 (S1) door mirror mounts and gaskets

[Stableblock]

Looks like a really good job Guy! Have you got any pictures of the fronts. I didn't know that the mirrors were not symmetrical. Amazing what you learn on here.

Here's the 2 sets from the front Peter.

And this link to what might be an original Stratos one

although this has a plastic head I suspect the original had a metal one. This mirror has the correct stem and base which the Beta ones match exactly.

Here's a metal headed mirror, the chrome looks pitted in these pictures but nothing a little work with a Dremel wouldn't remove, blob of filler and a few coats of paint and it'll look as good as new. This one has to be dismantled fully to allow the stem to be changed for the correct one and also needs the correct Beta base, gasket and fixing bar sourcing.

Disassembly is fraught with danger. The glass is very easily broken, especially on the Beta ones that are secured with 4 serrated washers on posts that fit into cups on the back of the plastic holder. The asymmetric ones only have three and seem to come apart more easily. If you're stripping any for painting I'd also recommend replacing the grub screws in the bases with a stainless steel one. Originals can corrode in place and crack the base nearest the gasket.
