There are numerous sources for cheap > excellent quality late Ghia mirrors, are they the right angle for a T3?
(They appear to be correct otherwise, no stem to speak of)

Bug mirrors stick up on a T3 at a ridiculous angle, and stick out way too far.

Flat4 makes repro early style T3 mirrors, but no one seems to have them in stock except for $80 ea...

(buying stuff on TOS is getting to be a drag, nobody bothers pulling down ads one they close anymore, or they can't be bothered to reply)

I don't know where you'd find a "proper" `68-`73 mirror, everyone sells the 113 857 513D/514D (Beetle) mirrors for that application. I've got a ~'72 Type III LH mirror on my DD `77 Beetle, so I know what you're talking about - the original Type III mirror is much more close-coupled than the Beetle (although the angle isn't much different, the Beetle mirrors still look dorky on a Type III).

I think the 'Ghia mirror has a little too much angle to look 100% right on a Type III, but it's an interesting idea:



IIRC Type IV are similar, if not identical, to Type III...

I for one doubt it will fit well, as Jim Patterson said The bottom line: The only mirror that looks right and fits right on a Ghia IS a Ghia mirror.

A besides if it all most worked more vendors would sell it as "fitting"
