Has any Forum member purchased this mirror?
If so, I'd like to know how well it works.
Is there something better out there for a 1913 Ford Touring?

Thank you,

Re: Brass Side-view Mirror
Many years ago at Hershey, Russ Potter was selling R V mirrors that bolted to the windshield frame using TWO bolts of the windshield hinge. It has been on my '13 Touring since. It stays put, yes, it shakes, but so does everything else. Much less than the clamp style thou. THE BOLT LENGTH IS CRITICAL, so be sure they won't hit the glass. I've bumped it many times, and the windshield it still ok.
Snyder's has it in the catalogue, bracket and mirror separately. (?) I didn't see in Lang's website.
Thanks Russ!

For practical reasons, I like them more that any other mirror. I only wish that he used all period correct hardware. But then we can't have everything.

I agree it would be better without the modern hardware, but you can easily replace the Phillips screws and put on a brass cap nut in place of the hex nut.
While a mirror on a Model T may not be rock steady, it doesn't have to be. As long as it shows you what's behind you, you don't need to see the details.

My camera held in one hand shakes more than the mirror.
