Mirror Problems Solved

[morrisclassic]

I almost pull over into the side of a car in Asheville, NC. So I said enough of this Useless Mirror Crap!
After buying mirror after mirror and glueing and everything else I finally developed a solution.
We have a fix for the dreaded mirror problems.
We have a convex mirror for the passenger side
and also will promise that your mirrors will be Useful not Useless
You can even tighten up the mirror head if ever needed.
We can go into production depending on the interest.
The mirrors will be Cheaper than your Deductible and Cheaper
than the multiple sets of other mirrors that we have bought.
So let us know by posting your comments here.
Thank You, Billy

[JEFFTATE]

I am intrigued .
What is the solution , Billy ???
Do you have a link ??

[morrisclassic]

Jeff,
The solution is a new set of mirrors from Morris Classic Concepts.
We are just testing the market to see how much interest there is.
I have a set of mirrors on my 69 Camaro that have been on since last year with zero problems.
You can see all the way around the car. The mirrors are almost identical to the stock mirror in
size and also don"t forget the Convex passenger mirror for added side view.
Billy

I am intrigued .
What is the solution , Billy ???
Do you have a link ??

[carguy502]

I would be interested, especially if they can fit a 1969 Nova doorskin...

[morrisclassic]

We are doing the 69 rectangular mirrors that are on 69 Camaros. I don't know
the other years that may be the same yet. Billy

[morrisclassic]

I will try and get a photo of them on my Camaro posted here soon.

Billy

[JEFFTATE]

Post up a photo ,
I'd like to have a mirror that looked almost exactly like the ORIGINAL '69 mirror except just a little bit larger and a convex ( wide angle ) on the passenger side .

[OLDFLM]

I'd love to have a set for my 2nd Gen! Those 70-73 sail panels make for some nasty blind spots!

[morrisclassic]

As almost everyone knows there are mirrors out there but they all have 2 things in common 1: they will not hold their position 2: there is still a blind spot on the passenger side because the mirror won't adjust inward far enough, but our new mirrors eliminate all of these problems.The mirror head can be tightened up if needed.I have had a set on my 69 Camaro for a year and they still hold their position. I have not had to tighten the mirror head.

Billy

[67rsssls]

I would like to see the same thing done using the round mirrors from a 67 Camaro.

[mikes70]

Billy, are you doing just mirror or the housings too? Where are you sending manufactoring too?(you dont have to answer this if you dont want too)

Reason i am asking is i am in the glass business (own a small retail shop) and was in auto glass for 15+ years and we still dabble a little on the restoration side.

BTW, just installed a set of your belts on my 70 camaro, great fit! thanx, Mike

[morrisclassic]

Mike,
First Thank You for purchasing our seat belts.
We will be providing the entire mirror assembly ready to bolt on the car.
We will be using an existing manufacturer in the USA.

Thank You, Billy

[AintQik]

Don't forget us 67 guys with vent windows! It'd be great to have something that will clear them. I've got a nice set of painted mirros I don't run because the vent windows hit.

rj

[DarkoNova]

I'm definitely interested if they clear the wing windows. My repops from Classic are terrible. Don't hold their position and I can't see anything bigger than the size of a fly.

[TheJDMan]

Billy,
I'm interested in a pair. My stock passenger side mirror is virtually useless.

[GeoffP]

I'm interested but not in rectangular mirrors. I LOVE the 67 round mirror but hate that it moves every time I close the door.

[67speedfreak]

Very interested in seeing these !

[Aussie]

Yes, interested. Dislike them for all the reasons mentioned

[Turbo67camaro]

Interested also for a 67 Camaro. Not fond of the originals. Open to the idea of mirrors that look different than the originals. To me, function is more important than appearance on mirrors.

[rocketrod]

I might be interested if I could see a pic.

[morrisclassic]

The mirrors are almost identical to the stock mirror.
They will have 2 screws in the back side of the mirror head
for tightening if ever necessary.
I will try to post a picture of them on my Camaro.
Billy

[rfalker1]

I am curious about these too!! Do you have a price in mind for the set?

[morrisclassic]

We are getting pricing on the parts now. The set will cost more
than the ones you can buy now. Not a lot more. Like I said before these Mirrors
will eliminate the Passenger Side Blind Spot. You can adjust the mirror in so you can see
the cars beside you that are hidden by the B Pillar. Also the Passenger mirror is Convex for added side view.
The mirrors will have a Great warranty on them also.
Even though we don't think the warranty will be needed even with years of use,
but the biggest difference with our design is they will stay set and the swivel ball has srews for tightening if ever needed.
Passenger mirror will be useful.You can actually see cars beside you on a 3 lane highway. Maybe this needed
to be in the Safety and Tech Equipment section!!
I will try to post a picture. Billy

I am curious about these too!! Do you have a price in mind for the set?

[130fe]

I might be interested in these also.

[oldblu68]

This would be a tremendous solution for the crappy alternatives that are available now. Terribly unsafe, and really poor quality as well. I would definitely be interested. I might have to just put my bullet mirrors on hold for now.

[Pro Stock]

68s ?

[Rod]

still no pictures??

[morrisclassic]

Here is a picture. Look closely in the mirror you will see the Drivers headrest. The Passenger Mirror is Convex .
There is another piece that will go with the kit ,it is being made next week.
The Total Difference between our Mirror Kit and the others you buy is that our mirrors Eliminate the Dangerous Blind Spot .You can Actually see the traffic on the Right side of your Camaro , Chevelle, ETC!!
Billy

[MickyT]

Set of 67 round mirrors would be awesome. Mine are awful. Love your 3 point seatbelts

[pokey64]

Interested...

[77thor]

Count me in for 69 Camaro right side mirror.

[morrisclassic]

We are still waiting on a sample & one quote for a piece that is needed for the
Mirror Kit. Then we will have a price for you. The mirrors sure make it a lot safer
driving as you can actually see on the passenger side of the car.

Billy

Count me in for 69 Camaro right side mirror.

[Roberts68]

Subscribed, quite interested.

That looks similar to the mirror on my 68. Can you show a picture of the frontside?
All chrome w/ small stainless screws I would hope?

[morrisclassic]

Yes the front side of the mirror has 2 small screws to tighten the ball socket if ever needed.
The set on my Camaro haven't been adjusted for almost a year except moving them while washing.
I was always telling the passenger to adjust the side mirror for me. Not anymore.

Billy

[Roberts68]

Billy,
I was raising the subject of the screws for appearance purposes. For long term I recommend high quality stainless and the use of antisieze during assembly to prevent seizing or galling.
Also, and I know it goes without saying because you guys make great stuff but hopefully the screw heads don't stand out.

[67speedfreak]

I came up with this same fix about a year ago, been using it on my cars. Works great !

[67speedfreak]

I also found that the US repro adjusts enough on the passenger side to see but the import version does not !

[DarkoNova]

Definitely interested in these even more now. Was in Tennessee visiting a friend for a few weeks and came back to find the passenger side repop mirror with the glass sitting on the ground! I was able to tighten the mounts for the pivot ball, but the glass broke when it hit the ground, and I don't know if anyone sells just the glass...

I'm just not sure how the rectangular mirrors would look on a 69 Nova...

[morrisclassic]

We like to call this another Safety Item. You will actually be able to see the lanes to the right so changing lanes will be Safer!! Mirrors that you can actually see out of.
Orders from a manufacturer for the mirrors are being placed.
Installed mirrors on the Camaro today , has a Much wider field of view.The mirror will adjust in to the point that you can see the door handle !
We are discussing the length of warranty that we will be offering with the new mirrors , which I can tell you now that it will be a multiple year warranty for staying in the adjusted position!!
Hammering out a Sale price too!!
Billy

[JEFFTATE]

I'll move this over to the Safety Forum if you want me to .

[morrisclassic]

Since there are a lot of people viewing this maybe we should leave it here for now.

Thank You for the offer.

Billy

[AM.MSCL]

I read that article. Interesting.

Our mirrors are flat glass, The right side mirror will
be convex to have a larger field of view.

Is the glass interchangeable, could it be put in the left hand mirror?
Reason I ask is my Camaro is right hand drive.

thanks

[morrisclassic]

Roger,
The glass is not interchangeable however,
We can assemble you one that will be opposite the USA model.That way you would just bolt the convex mirror assembly on the left side of your Camaro. We also ship the least expensive way as we have customers that are outside the USA and we don't take advantage of customers by adding to the shipping charges.

Billy

[Chad-1stGen]

Looking forward to seeing the production and pricing on these :)

Sign me up for a set, thanks

[AM.MSCL]

I am in for 1 when they are ready for sale.

[MK69RSSS]

I will take a set

[Cole]

I want a set as well.

[BK69SS]

count me in for a set

[morrisclassic]

Getting closer to having a release date. We will keep you posted.

Thank You, Billy

[morrisclassic]

The last piece of our mirrors are being machined now.
Our mirrors will look like the originals except they will have
2 small allen head screws for tightening if ever needed.

Billy

[jski67]

I'd definitely be interested in a round 67 version..

[morrisclassic]

We may do the round ones later.

Billy

[deadend1970]

Since these are being custom made could I order a set with a custom color, like gloss black instead of chrome?

[CarlC]

Will the mirrors mount on the OE GM mounting brakcket? If memory serves the aftermarket cheapy replacement mirrors use a larger/different bracket.

[67rally]

Billy, I'd be in for a set of round ones if you decide to produce them.

I just installed a round passenger mirror, and it would be great if I could use it to see cars in the other lane. The current design is pretty useless.

[morrisclassic]

The mirrors will be Chrome.
Our mirror kit will come with all of the parts needed to mount them on your car, Camaro , Chevelle, Nova, Skylark and other cars that have the rectangular mirror
3 Year Warranty!!

Billy

[MCB Matt]

Sounds good Billy, we will be selling them! We have needed a solution to this issue!

Matt

[1972malibu]

Billy,

Thanks for the help on the rear belts for our Chevelle today. They will go great with your 3PT's we are putting up front. Your new mirrors sound like a great solution we will need as well.

Keep us updated on availability and pricing or any pre-orders.

Doug and Trudy

[morrisclassic]

Hey Everyone,
We are waiting on one machined part so we can sell our mirror kits.
The machine shop is working on the last part Now.
I will let Everyone know when the part is in our shop.

Thank You, Billy

[Roberts68]

I hope you are doing a large enough batch to keep up with the interest expressed. What sort of quantity is your initial run?
I don't know that you have addressed all of the questions posed to you here, CarlC asked about the base being OE or aftermarket dimensions.

[morrisclassic]

Robert,
We can supply the demand.
The mirrors will be sold as a kit only.
There will be 4 pieces per side per kit.
The base is a quality reproduction part.
Our hold up is for the base which we have
a machine shop manufacturing now.

Billy

[morrisclassic]

Mirror Update !!
We are waiting on the last part to be machined.
The machine shop has promised they will have the part made the end of next week. This has been frustrating for us
as we are ready to release the mirror assemblies. But this is a crucial part of the assembly.
They have always made excellent products for us. So we are waiting Patiently!!
Billy

[AM.MSCL]

Billy
I have a question: Are these mirrors going to be a set for both sides of the car or just a passenger set?
Thanks
Ray

[morrisclassic]

Yes there will be 2 mirrors. Drivers side regular view and a Convex Passenger side.The passenger side mirror will also have a special mount to enhance side view and adjustability.
Billy

[MCB Matt]

Sounds like a great setup, can't wait to see them!

Matt

[morrisclassic]

Okay Guys I need some input on the mirrors.
Would it look better for the era of the Camaros and other cars to have the flat glass mirrors on both sides?

The Field of View with the flat glass mirror will still be Great, You can see the entire lane on your left and the side of your car.

With the Convex glass you would be able to see a little more but the distance of course is harder to judge.
I would Really appreciate all of your Opinions. Thanks, Billy

[Roberts68]

If they were only to be offered one way I would suggest flat. Have you considered offering both variations for the passenger side? Or is it that you have decided it will be only one style?

[morrisclassic]

I was just wondering if a Convex mirror would look out of place on that Era of cars.
I can offer both.

Billy

[morrisclassic]

Convex or Flat Mirror Face

[DarkoNova]

Still no pics or price?

[morrisclassic]

If you look back at the first of this thread there is a picture of the mirror showing
a view standing beside the car.The reason we haven't posted a price is because of
the last machined parts cost. An estimate would be $155.00 per set, Remember these
mirrors are Guaranteed for 3 Years and will Eliminate the Priceless Blind Spot! While staying
in the Set Position!
I will post more pictures soon. The mirrors look like the stock rectangular mirror
except they have 2 small allen screws in the back to tighten the ball and socket
if ever needed. Thank You, Billy

[AM.MSCL]

My thoughts are if you can offer both then do so; that would allow the folks that have no issues with a more modern look and make the ones that do want era correct look happy.
I would probably go with the flat glass with the view you stated. I currently have no side view mirror so anything would be an improvement.

[MK69RSSS]

True time frame yet?

[JEFFTATE]

Flat on the passenger side , if the field of vision is good .
If the field is not wide enough , then a wide-angle convex would be good .
But , if a flat mirror would get the job done , then it would be good to not have the distance perception issues of a convex mirror ..

[esenior]

We are getting pricing on the parts now. The set will cost more
than the ones you can buy now. Not a lot more.



An estimate would be $155.00 per set

Not a lot more? Really? Isn't a pair of stock mirrors around $80? This is twice as much. Interested, but think that the price is coming in a bit high. Do both mirrors have the special glass? or just the passenger side?

[JEFFTATE]

" Concourse " quality Repos are $ 60.95 -RH , and $58.95 -LH at NPD .
Cheap crap repos are only $26.95 each , but they fall apart and get fuzzy in about a year .

I'd say these mirrors by Morris Classic Concepts will be much better quality and will solve the problems of the factory mirrors and repos .

I think they may be worth extra money for the problem solving they perform ..

[morrisclassic]

See next post

[JEFFTATE]

I'd pay extra for the Morris Classic mirrors .

[morrisclassic]

We are thinking about offering both glasses Flat or optional Convex on the Passenger Side.With the Flat Glass on the Passenger Side you will still have the Right Lane View.
Yes initially our mirrors cost more but after the Replacement of the First set of Repos which have you looking at the lines in the road you have saved about $90.00 .

None of the Mirrors on the market today Convex or Flat Glass Will Not Eliminate the Right Side Blind Spot

Differences in Morris Classic Concepts New Mirrors and the ones available now.

1.Our mirrors are Safer & Eliminate the Dangerous Right Side Blind Spot
2.Mirrors will stay in Adjusted Position
3.Guaranteed for 3 Years
4.You can tighten the Ball & Socket if Ever Needed
5.Will Eliminate Scrap Metal and Glass being Recycled from the mirrors that are
currently Available.
Thank You, Billy

[BonzoHansen]

I know Billy. If he says they are quality then I bet they are very good! I look forward to seeing these.

[1972malibu]

Ah, sorry. Thought everything was pretty much set and you were just waiting to get all the parts to assemble them.

Yeah, I don't remember which mirror I bought for the passenger side, but I'm pretty sure it was the cheapest mirror available. After maybe 5 years the glass just fell out one day. I guess $30 for 5 years isn't bad, but obviously I expected it to last the life of the car. Not to mention the fact that I couldn't see a damn thing out of it, so even at $150, I'd get a set of these mirrors. I'd prefer round as I've never seen a 3rd gen Nova with rectangular mirrors, but if it means better safety and vision, I'll take em.

And Billy, I think it'd be best to offer both options, let people choose if they want both mirrors to have the convex glass or the flat glass. As long as it doesn't ridiculously obscure the view (I.E., in the mirror, it looks like a car is a good 2 car lengths away but in reality it's like a foot away lol) I think I'd rather have convex on both sides.

But I've never owned a car with a wide angle mirror, so maybe that's just me.

[morrisclassic]

I know it has been a while but I too am ready to release these for sale.
We have to modify the piece once again. We want to be sure the mirrors
fit and function properly before making hundreds of them.
Thank You for your patience, Billy

[Roberts68]

How difficult would it be to change out the glass is someone purchased the convex and then wished they hadn't?
Would it be an option at the consumer level or pretty risky?
The convex passenger sside is something I would like to try on for size but that isn't really feasible.

Some of the late model mirrors that offer a convex mirror inset flush in the corner of a flat mirror are kind of inspirational but they utilize a much larger glass.

I have been pondering 2nd Gen Camaro mirrors but these would be more economical especially when you consider paint.

[morrisclassic]

If you ordered the Convex Passenger Side and did not like it we would
exchange it for the Flat Glass one if the Convex on was in Resalable condition.
Billy

[Roberts68]

If you ordered the Convex Passenger Side and did not like it we would
exchange it for the Flat Glass one if the Convex on was in Resalable condition.
Billy

That would be pretty commendable and I for one would appreciate that recourse.

I think that is the route I would take because I am sure that the convex mirror you have chosen is pretty subtle anyway, and not overly distorted.

I would like to see some more pictures of your prototype at it's current stage of development. How about some shots of the mirror from the front of the car? I'd like to see how noticable the tensioning screws are.

[DarkoNova]

A comparison shot of flat versus convex would be amazing!

[morrisclassic]

I will try to take some pics.
The one at the beginning of the post is a Convex one.

Billy

[morrisclassic]

We have had a problem with the machine shop I have been dealing with. They keep making excuses for their program guy. I can't have his personal problems holding us up on this project anymore.
We contacted another machine company and they are progressing well. Should have a sample to fit up Monday. Hang in there with us.
I will post mirror pictures after I file the Provisional Patent Papers!

Billy - Thanks for the updates. It's hard enough to launch a new product. It's even worse when you can't depend on your suppliers to fulfill their end of the process...

Good luck and keep us in the loop!
Doug

[morrisclassic]

Okay here is some good news, We have another machine shop that has made the part for the Clear Shot Mirrors.
We will be placing an order this week for the parts. So in a short time we will have the mirrrors ready for sale.

Billy

[The WidowMaker]

billy, when you get a chance any pictures showing the differences between the mirrors themselves would be helpful. not the image reflected, but how the convex looks compared to the flat.

Thanks!

[MK69RSSS]

My cars will be a antique by the time they are done. Lol

[parsonsj]

Big time interest here (as Dusty Baker would say). I've got a customer's 69 Camaro in the shop that needs a set of these mirrors.

[DarkoNova]

My cars will be a antique by the time they are done. Lol

Technically it already is lol.

[morrisclassic]

I know it has been a while but we want to make sure we are providing a quality part that eliminates the Blind Spot and will stay in its adjusted position.Maybe I need to take a machining course too.
The first run is in process Now! Believe me we are feeling the pain of not being able to release these for sale, very frustrating.

Billy

[morrisclassic]

Our mirrors will be Ready to Ship Soon!
I know it has been a long time but we have
had several suppliers that we had to ditch and find
other accountable ones. The mirrors have been tested and
give a Clear Shot view on the Passenger Side of the car.
You can call in and preorder if you like.
864-987-0032
Thank You, Billy

[Roberts68]

Could we see some pictures of the final product from multiple angles? I would like to see how visible the tension screws are or how "stock" the mirrors look when installed.

Thank you,
Robert

[MK69RSSS]

Ur mirrors ready?

[Glenn]

Billy,
Did you happen to make the mirrors for the '66 Chevy II ?

[morrisclassic]

Glenn,

We will have the round mirrors next.They will not have the bowtie on them.
We are releasing the Rectangular mirrors Soon!!
You can pre-order at 864-987-0032.
Thank You, Billy

[morrisclassic]

Robert,
We can't post pictures just yet. But we will as Soon as our Patent Papers are filed.
Thank You , Billy

[Roberts68]

Robert,
We can't post pictures just yet. But we will as Soon as our Patent Papers are filed.
Thank You , Billy

I guess that makes sense Billy, You need to protect your innovations... thank you for the explanation.
I, for one feel the need to see them before I order... but I will tell you I won't order anything other mirrors without seeing these.

[DarkoNova]

Sweet, any idea on when the round ones will be ready?

[morrisclassic]

The round mirrors will be released ASAP.
Billy

[Bobbie]

66748Aloha All, Well I placed my order for my Door Mirrors, Thank you Billy for your feed back look forward to installing them on my 69 Camaro

[morrisclassic]

Hi Everyone,
We have filed Patent papers and are waiting on the Patent Office.
You can place a pre-order if you want.
Sorry for the delays but we need Patent protection so other companies can't
copy our design.

Thank You, Billy

[morrisclassic]

Hi Everyone,
A small set back on the mirrors. But we are still moving forward.
I hit a Truck broad sided on my Harley 11/3. Airborne, flipping down the road,
but very Thankful to the Lord that I am just bruised up and broken ribs.
Billy

[carguy502]

Holy smokes, Billy! Glad you are alive and in one piece! Get better soon!

Don

[CarlC]

Yikes! It could have been much worse, so thankfully you're just banged up.

I need a set of these pretty soon, so please put me on the list.

[JEFFTATE]

Billy , sorry to hear about your wreck . Glad you're ok ..

[LowFast]

Interested when the make it to market.

[morrisclassic]

As soon as I get conformation from the Patent Office.
Thank You guys for the positive remarks about me getting better
Billy

[TheJDMan]

OMG, Billy! Glad to hear you were not hurt any more than that. I sold my Harley about a year ago and put that money into Dust Off. I just never felt safe in traffic after I laid it down avoiding a driver who was talking on her damn cell phone and not paying attention to driving.

[67rally]

Glad to hear your still kind of in one piece Billy. Broken ribs hurt, and there's not much you can do other than living with them for next 6 weeks.

An old salty biker once told me there's only two kinds of bikers...those who've been in an accident, and those who haven't been in one yet. I thought he was full of it at the time, but no matter how good of a rider you are, some things are out of your control.

Speedy recovery Billly.

[morrisclassic]

Thank You for Caring

Billy

[TheJDMan]

Any update on availability?

[morrisclassic]

Hey Guys,

With us dealing with suppliers, machine shops and the US Patent Office it's been a long haul.
I haven't said anything about our Clear Shot Mirrors lately because everything seemed out of control.
We Now Have the Clear Shot Mirrors For Sale!!

Billy

[Roberts68]

Very nice Billy! Congrarulations!!
This is going to the top of my "what to do about my mirrors" list when I get to that being a priority.

[XLexusTech]

Nice... those will be on my 67

[morrisclassic]

The mirror set will include all the hardware to mount both mirrors.

Thank You for the Compliments.
Billy

[CarlC]

Do they fit the stock bracket? Most of the aftermarket mirror bases are quite different than the OE.

Also, I could not find inFormation on your website on the mirrors. What is the cost and how can an order be placed?

[morrisclassic]

Yes they fit the stock bracket.The mirrors include all of the mounting hardware.
$ 160.00 per set

Billy

[XLexusTech]

Hey billy not to be a critic... but could you get rid of those two rivet looking things in the back?

[morrisclassic]

That is one of the key parts of the mirror. Those are small philip head screws so if you Ever need to tighten the ball & socket up you can.
Billy

[DarkoNova]

Any eta on the round mirrors? These look nice, but I'm not sure how they'd look on a 3rd gen Nova...

[morrisclassic]

None Yet

[XLexusTech]

That is one of the key parts of the mirror. Those are small philip head screws so if you Ever need to tighten the ball & socket up you can.
Billy
cool can you counter sync or flush them?

[morrisclassic]

I don't know how that could be done. The mirror body isn't thick enough to counter sink the screws.
Our goal is to make a mirror that stays in position and eliminates the blind spot.
Billy

[1989GTA]

I am very interested from a safety issue. Any clue if they will fit on a 1965 Buick Skylark?

[morrisclassic]

Not Sure. If the mirrors use a standard mount like the Camaro, Chevelles and other cars they should .

Not Sure. If the mirrors use a standard mount like the Camaro, Chevelles and other cars they should .

Billy, I need these for One Lap. I'll call in to place an order tomorrow.

Billy
By chance is a template include to drill mounting holes for the passenger side door that has never had a mirror?

Thanks
Ray

[morrisclassic]

Ray,
We suggest mounting the passenger side mirror on the door the same as the drivers side.
The mirror will have the required amount of adjustability you need
Billy

[BK2LIFE]

I’m seeing a product of the year award winner at SEMA 2013..

[Taylor1969]

What if I only need a driver mirror? My reproduction driver flops around and is literally useless right now. My car didn't have a passenger mirror from the factory and I typically shoulder check right now.

Thanks,
Chris

[68lovebuzz]

Same boat here. Kinda only wanted one

[morrisclassic]

It is just a short matter of time before you will be adjusting the Drivers side mirror frequently so we suggest just replace both mirrors at the same time and eliminate the need to continually adjust them and eliminate the Passenger Side Blind Spot.

The Clear Shot Mirror looks a little different than a stock mirror.
Most evident is the 2 small phillip head screws in the back of the
mirror that tighten up the ball and socket if ever needed.
Billy

[1989GTA]

To use it on my 65 Skylark I would most likely have to use the factory rubber gasket due to the profile of the door. Do you have a measurement for the base of the mirror. Length and max width?

[morrisclassic]

The mirror base is 4.75" long . 3/4" wide at the mirror end and tapers to 1/2" toward the fender.
Add about 1/8' to 3/16" for the gasket between the mirror base & the door
Hope this helps
Billy

[1989GTA]

The issue I have is that the sheet metal on the door where the mirror goes is concave. The factory gasket is round on the bottom to take up the space. That is what I am going to have to figure out in order to use your mirrors. The dimensions are close enough. If the sheet metal was flat there would be no problem.

[Taylor1969]

I guess i should have said... Lots of cars only came with a driver mirror. Can you please offer This option?

I will not be installing the passenger even if forced to buy it.

[morrisclassic]

I understand you only have a mirror on the drivers side,but I really don't understand why you wouldn't want a Passenger side mirror to Safely change lanes. I respect your decision.
Call us
Billy

[1989GTA]

Ok, I think I can make these work on my 65 Skylark. I will have to use the original Buick rubber mirror base gasket and trim it some. It is actually a little longer than the Camaro one and sightly wider in the middle. So with a little timming it should be doable. After the 1st of the month I will be ready to place an order. Do you have these up on your website or is a phone call needed?

[morrisclassic]

We don't have them on our web page yet so to place an order just call us.
Thank You, Billy

[patriot68]

Got my mirrors today and they are bad ass. ill post pics when i get them installed

[morrisclassic]

Thank You for the Compliment.
We may have packaged some of the kits without a stainless steel screw for the passenger side mirror.
If so call us if you need one.I used the screw out of my old mirrors.

Billy

[MK69RSSS]

Just ordered 2nd set. Thanks

[parsonsj]

Ordered mine for the Tommy Camaro today. I'll be installing them Friday.

[Bobbie]

Aloha Billy, Thank you for taking the time to make this happen the mirrors are outstanding, I'll get them mounted and post photos soon. Very good job on the adjustment screws this will end that problem.

[parsonsj]

Installed mine on the Tommy Camaro tonight.

Recommended!!

[77thor]

Let's see some pic's with them installed.

[1989GTA]

Yes, lets see some pictures.

[Barrrf]

IN for the pics......

[TheJDMan]

I installed them on Dust Off over the weekend. I have not driven the car yet so I can't report how they are in traffic but I can definately see a wider field of view out of the RH mirror than I could with the stock ones I removed. BTW, I have a pair of one year old stock mirrors for sale if anyone is interested.

X2 on the Recommend!!!

And for those of you who only want the driver side mirror, be smart, install them both! The way traffic is these days you need all the vision you can get. Two small holes on the passenger door and the job is done. The passenger door already has a backup plate under the skin to anchor the mirror.

[parsonsj]

I don't get the requests for pictures. They look like stock mirrors, but with a much wider field of view on the passenger side. It's not worth buying them for use only on the driver's side.

[73z-6sp]

[morrisclassic]

Thank You for the Compliments.
We may make the round ones later.

Billy

[1989GTA]

Billy can you tell me what is the actual size of the mirror/glass part?

[parsonsj]

I know you asked Billy, but the answer is: identical to the stock mirror.

[rocketrod]

I just ordered a set....

[CarlC]

Here comes a not-to-often double thumbs up from me. These look exactly like the stock GM mirrors. It took less than five minutes to install both (already had the RH mirror mount.) They are super stiff. The view ato the passenger rear is far better with the new right hand side glass. What a difference! I did not even have to open the hardware bag since all of the previous fit.

Great parts Morris!

[rfalker1]

Well jeez now I have to buy a pair!!!! I would because I hate changing lanes in my car!!

[rfalker1]

By the way Billy your new website looks awesome!! and I went ahead and bought some rear lap belts to match my 3 points in the front. Way to make the website look amazing and simple to aid in getting my money!!! Lol Thanks though!!!!

[morrisclassic]

Thank You for the Compliments and for purchasing our parts!!

Billy

[TheJDMan]

Got Dust Off out for some quality seat time this past weekend. My first driving impression with these new mirrors installed is a double thumbs up!:twothumbs The field of view out of the RH mirror is noticably improved over the stock mirrors. Thanks Billy for a great safety upgrade!

[BigO]

Please consider rounds!

[jski67]

I'm in for a pair of rounds if they become available...great product that's been needed for awhile.

[rfalker1]

LOVEEE .... Here is a photo

+3 for rounds.

Unless someone has a pic of a 3rd gen Nova with rectangle mirrors that actually looks good.....

[73z-6sp]

derfcvgbhnj

[1989GTA]

It is the field of view I am interested in. That is why I am looking hard at putting these on my 1965 Skylark even though they are not a direct fit. I would have to play with the Skylark base gasket to get these to work.

[morrisclassic]

Our mirrors will give you the most adjustment and field of view than any other mirror on the market,especially one that looks like it should be on the car.

Billy

[CarlC]

Another double thumbs-up on these. The RH mirror is now totally functional, unlike the OE part which even when it did stay in place had poor visibility.

[morrisclassic]

Carl,
Thank You for purchasing our mirrors and the Compliment.
Our main goal is to make parts that Fit and Function properly
with Safety and Quality in the process.

Thank You, Billy

[CarlC]

Passed another car on the front straight of Willow Springs at 135mph today. It sure is nice to look in the passenger side mirror, have a full field of view, and be rock solid. Nice job guys.

[77thor]

When I get my Camaro on the road again in Spring, I'm gonna get frustrated with those damm mirrors again.

So I know that I will be ordering a set... just need to get some bills paid first.

[1989GTA]

Going to place my order today.

Update: Order placed.

[1989GTA]

I received my mirrors from Morris Classics and they are a fine product. As I stated in my earlier posts I bought them for safety reasons. I wanted a wider field of view and I need one for the passenger side any ways. I knew going in that these mirrors were not designed for my car however I thought I could make them work without to much difficulty and this turned out to be the case. My doors are concaved where the mirrors mount and the Morris mirrors are meant to be mounted on a flat surface.

I had a couple of options in mind such as using the 1965 Buick Skylark factory mounts and cut them to fit the foot of the Morris mirror. The other was to try and use the Morris mirror plastic base. The latter turned out to be easy to do. What I did was use black silicone sealant to fill the gap on the bottom of the plastic base. I drilled a couple of holes in the base at each end so that the silicone would ooze up in there and hold in place better. I only put the sealant on about the last 1 inch of the base at each end. The sides appear to fit and seal just fine.

I laid masking tape over the spot where the mirrors were going and applied some oil to the top of the tape. This would help in keeping the sealant from sticking to the tape after the sealant had dried. On the drivers side I mounted the mirrors using the factoy bolt holes. While usable and an improvement I felt the mirror location would be better if I use the rear factory hole and drilled a new hole. Car will be getting painted anyways so no big deal. On the passenger side there was no mirror so I had to drill new holes anyways. So yes, my mirror problem is solved. Here are a couple of pictures.

[Roberts68]

They look about llike they belong there.
I ordered mine last Thursday through MCB with some other parts so I should see them in the next couple days.

[CarlC]

Another thumbs up from me on the Morris mirrors. While at 155mph on Daytona with my teeth being shook out the mirrors stayed in place just like they are supposed to. Problem solved!

[sixgunsuperman99]

Will these fit a 72 nova and clear the vent windows? Does anyone have a picture on a 3rd gen? I need a set of mirrors soon, and I like everything about these.

[67rally]

+24 for round mirrors. I'd order them today if they were available.

[morrisclassic]

We have the round mirrors available now. We only have a few sets left as we weren't expecting
the round ones to sell this quick. The round mirror are a plain view type.

Billy

[67rally]

I just got off the phone with Billy and snatched up a set of the round ones. Great customer service as always!

I'm really looking forward to knowing what's in the other lane before I cut them off! I should have them by this weekend, and will post pics and results once they're installed.

[Aussie]

I've had mine on car now for a couple of weeks. What a difference :)

Great product, highly recommended

[4MuscleMachines]

Do you have any in raw finish so that they are paintable?

[morrisclassic]

We only have chrome ones, round and rectangular.
Billy

[kipmurphy]

I just had my 69 Camaro at the Chicago Musclecar show over the weekend in Rosemont. I have these mirrors and had no less than 20 people ask me about them and I had them sit in the drivers seat to see how well they work. I pointed them in the direction of Morris Classic and hope there are a few more customers out there that find this solution to solve not only a cosmetic problem, but a safety one as well because of the field of view from the passenger side.

[morrisclassic]

Kip,
Thank You for purchasing our parts and also for telling people about our products,

Billy

[DippedInSauce]

I started off with the Morris seat belts and was very satisfied. I sat on a set of these mirrors for 6 months while my car was in paint and just installed them over the weekend. They fit very well and look good too. I only wish they were available in black. I had the body shop paint the mounting base. I just need to figure out a way to properly mask off the locking screws and ball so I can paint the mirror casing. But for those who want to rock the chrome, they come with a nice lustrous plating.

[77thor]

I ordered a set just last week... hope to see them soon.

[morrisclassic]

We have the round mirrors available now too.
Post some pictures and comments so others can be informed.

Thank You, Billy

[GeoffP]

Hi Billy

Do the round mirrors have the proper bow tie on them like the originals?

[morrisclassic]

Geoff,
Sorry no Bowtie. The mirror stem is in the center of the mirror.
The wing glass will clear the mirror also.
But they will Eliminate the Blind Spot on the Passenger Side & have
a 3 year warranty.
Billy

[morrisclassic]

DippedinSauce,

Thank You for Purchasing our Products and the Compliment
Billy

[Damn True]

Just out of curiosity, can the mojo you've applied to these mirrors be retrofitted to existing mirrors?

[morrisclassic]

We have a Patent on the Clear Shot Mirror design. Our mirrors look like the stock ones.
Except we do not have a bowtie on the back of the round ones.
Why not just buy the Clear Shot Mirrors?
The stock mirror head won't stay in the adjusted position.

Billy

[Damn True]

Because I'm going to run a talbot mirror. Usually they stay in place quite well but occasionally you find a clinker. Hence I was wondering if you could modify other mirrors to stay put.

[morrisclassic]

The mirror heads are manufactured with the screws that tighten up the
ball if ever needed.
Billy

[77thor]

Wow. I received my mirrors last week... they look like a great quality product.
Now if only the weather would cooperate, I would install them...
with my UNHEATED garage, I may have to wait for the spring thaw :)

[morrisclassic]

We have the Round mirrors on the web page now.
Our Clear Shot Mirrors will stay in the adjusted place and
Eliminate the Blind Spot as well.

[alky]

Hello, I have 1969 Camaro with the factory mirrors on now.
Will these Morrisclassic mirrors attatch to the factory mounts, so I dont have to pull the door panels?

Thanks

[morrisclassic]

Alky,
Yes the Clear Shot Mirrors will mount to your factory brackets. The brackets and screws are included.
Thank You

[icemanrd19]

I just bought a set of these from summit. Is there a difference on the left and right? my passenger mirror when pulled in close to the door is hard to see. I can't see anything behind me at all.

[morrisclassic]

Iceman,
The mirrors can be used on either side. What car are these installed on?
You said you can't see anything behind you? Explain a little bit more or call me.
Can you see someone standing a foot beside the quarter panel of the car?
Thx, Billy

[icemanrd19]

The passanger side mirror pulled all the way in to the point it almost touches my door on a 67 camaro is pointing to where the closes thing I can see in the passanger rear of the car is 6ft to the right. I can't see anything from my tail panel to 6ft out to the right. Everything tail panel 6ft out plus I could see.

Later this week I'll get some pictures and measurements.

[morrisclassic]

Iceman,

Unusual , but we will make sure the mirrors work as advertised.
We probably need you to return the Passenger Side mirror for to us to check
& replace. Round or Rectangular mirror?
The mirror base could be out of Spec..
Thx, Billy

[icemanrd19]

Rectangular.

Later this week ill head over to my car and check it again. Worst case ill install the drivers mirror on the passenger side and see if it changes anything. I wish i could just angle the glass itself little more

By the way the mirror are very solid and stay in place. Very impressive quality piece.

[icemanrd19]

Apparently I just needed to pull them in closer. Everything is all good. Thank you

[morrisclassic]

Great. Good to hear they are working as you expected.
Thx, Billy

[icemanrd19]

yes sir. I actually like the look of the two screws on the back

Here is where i had to pull them in to see. If i had a 68 or 69 i would have moved the mirrors closer to the fender

[morrisclassic]

Iceman,
The mirrors should work in the factory locations.We tried different
mounting positions during development and found that it didn't make
any difference front or back from the factory mounting point. It is the
Patented Design of the mirror & base that Eliminates the Blind Spot.
Can you send us some pictures of your Camaro
of the seat belts & mirrors so we
can put it on our web page?
Thx, Billy

[jg67]

I have spent several months researching the best possible mirror to use on my '67 Camaro. I was planning on using 2nd gen mirrors until i realized how small and useless they are. 4th and 5th gen Camaro are too big and the profile does not match the car. I then decided to look into the GT3 mirrors from APR. The housing is first class carbon fiber, but did not realize how small these mirrors are. They measure 5.5" by 2.5". The grub screw on the base has limited adjustability since it is mainly designed to keep the mirror in place without further adjustment. Other than that the mirrors look awesome on the car, but have not decided if I should keep them or not. I mean how hard should it be to design a manual adjust, functional mirror. This has been really frustrating. Ideally I want to see a 5.5" x 3.5" mirror in a carbon fiber shell that can be adjusted manually and stays in place. That would be awesome.

[icemanrd19]

Sorry i just saw this. What email address would you like me to send them too?
