Hmmm, the link came out funny so I'll shoot you a PM. Hope I didn't violate some posting rule, if I did SORRY JOSH.

You might want to consider rechroming the pieces. It will probably be hard to find new ones that will match the mounting holes in your door.

The original ones on my K20 only had one chrome piece which I had rechromed. The rest is stainless.

I have a few of the camper mirrors I will check to see if any are in real good condition.

try to find old ones. I wasn't able to find any replacement mirror frames that even came remotely close to the quality of the old ones. I did replace the elbows with NAPA replacement parts. The nice thing about the replacements is that they are stainless instead of chromed steel.

after taking a closer look, it seems that i just need that elbow part. the rest is ok, ofcourse if i found a full set of nos stuff im get it.

GoldenStatePickupParts had them.Haven`t dealt with them since Seth sold it.They fit my CustomCamper holes.Da-burb,how did you go about getting Napa parts?What did you ask for?

I just asked for their book on mirror replacement parts. They had several sizes of elbows for mirrors and various mirror heads and complete assemblies.
