looks like Vans auto is reproducing them. i have 1 1/2 NOS ones but not sure i want to put them on my driver LRE (plus NOS bases are a bit hard to find) so these may be a good choice..
figured i'd give you guys a heads up...

I'm going to order a set.
someone on one of the Facebook Tin Grille groups posted that there is also a metal support bracket that goes inside the door. Anyone have any pictures of that? Easy to make DIY?

Looks good. I'll probably end up ordering. My biggest concern is how long the ball and socket for adjustment holds out. That's my problem on the old OEM ones I have.
Shoot! I was supposed to post a pic of the support base. I'll try to do so soon!

Could just be an illusion from the picture angle but looks like the arm coming off the base on the repop is not on quite as much angle as the nos. Looks like this in all three pictures though. Mirror head I agree I like the crisper lines on it too.

Guess it was just the camera angle. Looking at those pics it looks pretty well dead on. Thanks

My old OEM mirrors were bought used and wouldn't budge on the adjustment. I finally had to heat them up after trying soaking them for days with PB Blaster failed. Heating them up got them to move but the just flopped loosely once they moved, so I had to tape them into the right position, then glue them into place, so now they won't adjust, but at least are set for me, the only driver I used a small amount of Gorilla Glue so it doesn't look too bad, but I'd still like to buy a set of these, and probably will, to have a functioning set.

Nice to know that there are replacement mirrors that look similar to mirrors on an A100 that aren’t astronomical in price. My last set of NOS mirrors cost an arm and a leg.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!
