I am wanting to purchase the windshield mounted mirror, the only one I am aware of is the one from Darkwater customs. When I go to the website it says build list closed and he says email him, but there is no email info on the website. If anyone has his email I would appreciate that. I am also wondering if there other options for this. Thanks for your help.

Forum member SJDave also makes them, or has in the past. You may want to PM him and see if he has any available.

It is so easy to make. If you are building a car you can make that piece. In fact you can just use some aluminum angle.

Make your own for cheap but there’s also a member on the FB group setting them on Etsy
I used this mirror that glues to the windshield.

Seems easy enough to just make myself now that i understand how it is mounted.

As stated before, yes very easy to make and polish with a buffing wheel.

The other forum had a recent thread on this. https://www.ffcars.com/threads/windshield-rear-view-mirror-mount.644970/#post-6147435
My response there is Post #2.

Hey Mike, has the "glue on" mirror solution worked out? I'm looking for rear view mirror mounting options. Ed K
