That one for the metal tire cover with raised sidemount bead is exactly what I'm looking for. Kanter has an inexpensive sidemount mirror, but you have to drill a hole in the sidemount bead and I don't plan to drill any non-stock holes in this car. Is Jay Fisher still around? If he is, it sounds like they no longer have this clamp-style sidemount mirror for sale?

I tried googling Jay+Fisher+mirror and all I got was a dagger maker, a Pontiac dealer and an obstetrician. I can't use any of the above this week.

Thanks everyone, for all your help on this.

I have the mirrors mounted on the beltline just forward of the doors and rear of the cowl(see photo). You might try one of these for the left side. I can see behind me to the left fairly well for lane changes. However, I can't even see the mirror on the right, let alone a reflection in it. Where can I buy good quality or original sidemount mirrors?

Appreciate your comments, guys. BigKev is right...I should have made it clear that it was the outside door handle.

The set screw was in place, although it is close to being stripped, as Greg suggests. It was in there securely enough to hold, but it seems like there is nothing on the shaft for the set screw to hold against and prevent the assembly from coming out. Maybe there was some sort of flange or raised area on the original shaft that is no longer there. I took the attached photo of it, and it does look like something has broken off. Take a look...what do you think?

An ex-friend accidentally pulled the right front door handle off when opening the door of my 41 160 convertible sedan. I can't figure out how to re-install it so that it stays there. Don't know if it is broken or if there's just a trick to it. Any ideas out there???
