Need a mounting base for '81 FC Ramco mirror
Here is a photo of an '82 FC-35 with the same set of mirrors that
are on my '81:

<http://www.vintagebirds.com/images/baird1.jpg>

They even have the extra aluminum plate mounted to the top of the
mirror for a stick-on convex mirror.

I went out and looked over my mirror for a manufacturer or model
number but only found the word 'JAPAN' stamped on the base (on the
piece that broke off, imagine that). I would guess they are probably
not Ramcos.

There was also a set of aluminum wedges underneath each end of the
mounting base to make them fit flush to the body; the mirrors
evidently had less curve than the corner of the coach has.

Thanks,

Tim Hannink
