I have one on my 27 roadster and love it. Very solid, very little vibration. When looking in the mirror, if one car is following you, you see one car, not 5 because of vibration!

Re: Please Let Me Know If You Are Using This...
Thanks Tom. I'm wondering if it would fit the 23 stanchion firmly as well.

My car came with these mirror brackets that screw on the windshield frame with the one screw in the middle of the windshield sanction . They work very well with no vibration. They are made of solid round stock, and milled out to fit the windshield. Mine are the 6" ones and they don't stick out quite far enough for a touring with the top up.

With the shaky mirror you just have to learn how to bob your head at the same rate of speed so you can get a true view! The middle rear view mirror I put on my pickup, is way to low to be of any use.So I am going to watch this thread and learn.

Re: Please Let Me Know If You Are Using This...
I bought my rear view mirrow and bracket from Snyder’s. Works pretty good with minimal vibration. I’ve had lighter mounted mirrows and in my case and probably most others the heavier mounting brackets helps to decrease the vibration.
Of course a T with a balanced engine would have the least vibration but you probably won’t get all the vibration out since it is a T to begin with!
In modern vehicles there isn’t any mirrow vibration from inside or outside mirrows. The reason being the heavy vehicles of today are more ‘solid’ because of the weight and generally run smoother.

I bought a pair of these mirrors for my 1917 touring. They have the least vibration of others I have tried. A quality unit.

Re: Please Let Me Know If You Are Using This...
John, you have no idea how hard it is to keep a mirror from shaking on a modern car. Sure they’re heavier because of all the extra things besides glass packaged inside that housing like power adjustment and turn signals and blind spot detection, but wind has a huge input. I’m happy to see 5 cars when there’s only one. Better than no cars when there is one.

Based on your concern - a shorter mirror arm will result in less apparent movement of the image in the mirror.
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
