The optional FIA mirror will also fit the 427.

Bob - does this mount use the existing screw holes for the wind wings or do additional holes have to be drilled?

Thanks everyone for the replys. You've given me several options to look at.

The existing screw holes. Tell Bob to give you two screws too.
Dan-it's exactly as I told you; could not be easier.
Source all parts for your ERA, FROM ERA-everything fits that way-no hardware chases.

Default Bracket

Cobra restorers has the bracket that mounts to the windshield frame and the mirror mounts to it. Nice piece works well

My new ERA 3032 will have vintage air, top, and side curtains. Do the wind wings and mirrors work with the side curtains ? Or do they have to be removed.

My side curtains fit with both the wind wings and sun visors and mirror without any problem. I've used them all maybe four or five times in 20 years but they look very, very cool when I do.

I have the windshield mounted mirror and with a slight modification it works with my side curtains. I just made a bracket that moves the mirror 1” further forward than stock ERA. You can’t really see the difference.

I've been using mirrors from thedreamcarcompany.com for several years now and they work great! Since the mirrors are installed behind the wind wing (not in front of it) you don't get the glare from reflections off the wind wing surface. A very good product and an easy install. They look fine and function perfectly. There is also a video on youtube on how to install them.

Cheers

If I don't have to drill the frame it sounds like a winner to me. I wasn't aware ERA offered a mount for the windshield prior to this. Anyone need a fender mount mirror?

Thanks

Dan
